The possibility of industrially producing new types of pastas based on other types of flour than wheat has raised interest for enabling the use of widely available materials and providing adequate products to persons with celiac disease. A mixture design was developed with the purpose of preparing a gluten-free dry using cassava starch, peach palm meal, and golden linseed while observing the nutritional value added and its technological properties. The pasta underwent assessments of its physicochemical and rheological characteristics. The drying temperatures studied were 60, 75, and 90 °C and the influence of those temperatures on pasta quality parameters and texture properties assessed. The percentage composition of the flours met the standards mandated by the Brazilian legislation and the pasta was classified as rich in fibers. The texture parameters of the pasta were influenced by the drying process, with the best results obtained at the lowest and highest temperatures studied. Practical Application:The pasta produced is a gluten-free product with high nutritional value. The sensory and technological characteristics of the new pasta are similar to those of traditional products. The Peach palm flour is rich in fiber and has viability to produce pasta with the best technological and sensory characteristics.

In this paper, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) with lactic acid, glycine, ammonium acetate, sodium acetate, and choline chloride were prepared with and without the addition of water. NADES formation was evaluated using FTIR and Raman, where hydrogen bonds were identified between the hydroxyl group of lactic acid and the amino and carboxyl groups of glycine. Acetate and ammonium ions were also identified as forming bonds with lactic acid. The addition of water did not cause changes in the vibrational modes of the FTIR and Raman spectra but contributed to a reduction in NADES viscosity and density. Viscosity ranged from 0.335 to 0.017 Pa s−1, and density ranged from 1.159 to 0.785 g mL−1. The best results for the extraction of phenolic compounds from pitaya (dragon fruit) were achieved with an organic solvent (450. 41 mg 100 g−1 dry bases-db) in comparison to NADESs lactic acid:glycine (193.18 mg 100 g−1 db) and lactic acid:ammonium acetate (186.08 mg 100 g−1 db). The antioxidant activity of the extracts obtained with the NADESs was not statistically different from that of the extract obtained with organic solvents.
