Raw material used in macaroni manufacture

Pasta are well kept, from them it is possible to prepare quickly for many dishes and garnishes, they have high food value. Their structure includes fibers (10, 4-14, 3 %), carbohydrates (66-71, 5 %), fats (1, 1 %), клетчатка, mineral substances. Power value 100 г is equal 336-349 kcal.

To make pasta of wheat flour, make pastry, from which form products, dry, cool, sort and pack. At preparation of the test use обогатители: egg mélange, a tomato-paste, a tomato-mashed potatoes, dairy products, and also flavoring additives.

The grade of pasta is a qualitative characteristic of a product and depends on a grade of the basic raw material used for manufacturing (pasta in/with - from a flour of the premium; 1 grades - from a flour of the first grade; II grades - from a flour of the second grade).

Assortment of pasta

Depending on the form pasta subdivides into four types:tubular, threadlike, tape and figured. Each of types divides into subtypes and kinds.

Tubular products subdivide into subtypes under the form (macaroni, рожки, feathers) and on kinds - on the size of external diameter. Macaroni are tubes with a direct cut. On length they can be short (no more than 150 mm) and long (not less than 200 mm). Рожки - short, изогнутые or straight lines, tubes with a direct cut. Feathers - a short direct tube with a slanting cut.
