Abstract

Abstract This study's objective is to determine the optimum mixing ratio of yam (Dioscorea japonica THUMB) powder and egg for the preparation of pasta. Response surface methodology revealed 10 experimental points, including two replicates for yam powder and egg. Yam pasta formulation was optimized using rheology. Yellowness(p<0.05) and redness displayed a linear model pattern, while lightness was represented by a quadratic model. The texture(p<0.05), including flavor(p<0.05) and overall quality(p<0.05) was measured as a sensory evaluation. In addition, mechanical properties displayed significant values in adhesiveness(p<0.05). These results showed that yam powder affects flavor and appearance, and egg affects adhesiveness and overall quality. The optimum formulations processed by numerical and graphical optimization were determined at 19.50 g of yam powder and 28.07 g of egg. Key words : yam powder, pasta, sensory evaluation, optimization, response surface methodology
