Abstract
Background:Pasta is the world’s favourite food, except among those with celiac disease and other gluten sensitivities. Jackfruit seeds are a good source of nutrients and are gluten-free. Replacing wheat flour with jackfruit seeds in pasta represents a potential alternative food for those with gluten sensitivities. This investigation examined the impact of replacing wheat flour with jackfruit seeds on the proximate composition and sensory assessment of gluten-free fresh pasta (fettuccine). Methods:The pasta was prepared by replacing wheat flour with jackfruit seeds and adding 10% (percentage of rice flour [PJS] 10%), 15% (PJS 15%) or 20% (PJS 20%). The proximate composition and sensory attributes of the pastas were evaluated. Results:The proximate composition of pasta was significantly improved (p < 0.05) when the amount of jackfruit seeds added to the pasta was increased. Results showed decreased in energy (152-174 kcal/100g) and carbohydrate (8.2-14.8%), however increased in crude fiber (0.4–0.9%) and ash (1.9–4.7%). The results of a sensory characteristic evaluation with a nine-point hedonic scale showed that pasta made from 100% wheat flour was acceptable to the participants, and the gluten-free fresh pasta was not significantly different. The gluten-free pasta’s colour and texture changed as a result of adding rice flour and replacing the wheat flour with jackfruit seeds. The addition of jackfruit seeds resulted in a reduction in the flavour, cohesiveness, taste, and colour characteristics compared to wheat flour pasta. The pasta that substituted jackfruit seeds and added 15% rice flour scored highly on the sensory analysis. Conclusion:This study showed that fresh gluten-free pasta made from jackfruit seeds can be a tasty and nutritious substitute for regular pasta, with promising potential for food variety, notably for those with celiac disease.Clinical trial registration: TCTR20220325001Keywords:Gluten-free, jackfruit seed, just-about-right, nutrition, pasta
