Abstract

A method using an image processing technique was developed to measure the moisture profile in pasta during its rehydration process. The method has the higher spatial resolution and can measure the lower moisture content than currently used methods. A very unique profile was recognized. Possible reasons for the profile will be discussed. The moisture distributions within pastas prepared at different temperatures were measured by the method, and the water sorption kinetics and texture of the pasta were also measured. The pasta prepared at higher temperature exhibited better textural properties. The effects of cooking temperature or salt concentration in cooking water on the kinetics and properties were also examined for the pastas prepared under different temperature-programmed conditions.
