Abstract
The Authors evaluated the cost, nutritional properties acceptability and taste of a gluten
free pasta, as compared to an ordinary pasta. The main ingredients of the gluten free pasta
are: rice flour (300 g), potato starch (150 g), maize starch (150 g) and whole egg (5
g). This product is easy to prepare (1 hour) and not expensive. Its taste and nutritional properties
are comparable to the best ordinary pasta. Gastric distension is reduced as well as
colonic fermentation. Absorption of carbohydrates is increased by 3% and glycemic response
is prompt. The same recipe can be used for pizza, bread and biscuits. Quality of
basic food must not necessarily be worse for coeliac patients.
