ABSTRACT
The paper presents the results of estimation of the possibility of using flour from the grain of 13 winter cultivars of common wheat (Akteur, Alcazar, Batuta, Bogatka, Boomer, Jantarka, Jenga, Kohelia, Legenda, Mateja, Natula, Ostka Strzelecka, Ostroga) cultivated under the conditions of organic farming as raw material for pasta production. The scope of the study covered the evaluation of dough susceptibility to darkening, pasta preparation, estimation of selected chemical components, and of the culinary and sensory quality of the pasta. It was found that a majority of pasta doughs were characterised by medium susceptibility to darkening, and none of the pasta doughs was classified in the group with low susceptibility to darkening. The requirements of the pasta industry regarding that parameter were not met in the case of flour from the grain of 4 wheat cultivars (Alcazar, Jenga, Legenda, Nateja). All the pastas were characterised by a low total protein content, typical for products from organic raw materials (8.3-9.8% DM), and a low content of minerals (0.49-0.61% DM). They were characterised by good culinary quality – pasta dry matter losses during cooking ranged from 3.1 to 6.5%, and the values of the weight increase index from 2.9 to 3.2. Based on the results obtained, flour from the grain of the cultivars Bogatka and Natula was selected as potential raw material for pasta production.
