Details

APPLICATIONS

A pasta's ingredient blend is a major factor in determining its application suitability. To ensure pastas meet your needs, reference the ingredients used in its manufacture, in many cases, blends can be customized to your specifications.

INGREDIENTS

Different shape and ingredient blends define a pasta's characteristics, which may include cook time, processing durability and more. Applications describe the most suitable and common uses for various pastas.

Thickness

For shells, the positions of measurement for thicknesses are the valleys between ridges. Measurements are taken using precision point micrometers.

Width

The widths of shells are determined as the external distances perpendicular to their ridges and between their “points.” Measurements are taken using precision digital calipers.

Length

The lengths of shells are determined as the curvilinear distances running parallel to their ridges. Measurements are taken using either micro measuring wheels or strings and rulers.

Moisture

To assure specified moisture, two batch samples are ground, weighed, heated in an air oven, placed in a desiccator and then re-weighed. Results are validated using two moisture validation machines.
