    Rebuilding vintage pasta machines Pasta Institute of in Technology History Series Melbourne Occasional Paper 1 Leonard J. DeFrancisci November 28, 2011 The roots of DEMACO in West Melbourne surfaced through rebuilding of vintage pasta machines made by the company many years ago. DEMACO now builds fully automated industrial machines that produce up to 3,500 lbs/hr of pasta for the major food producers. The evolutionary path to get to that point begins with mechanical I. DeFrancisci & Son gramola (left), belt driven machines, considered state mixer (middle) and press (right) after of the art at the time. The story starts refurbishment. The gramola and mixer with the founder of the company, were originally from Santoro Macaroni Ignazio DeFrancisci and spans over a and later Bened Foods. The press was century of progress. from V. LaRosa & Sons. Soon after immigrating to the United States in 1905, Ignazio designed a machine to place buttons on shoes.1 However, button shoes quickly faded out of style leaving Ignazio out of luck. Seeing a need to provide pasta to the increasing number of Italian immigrants, Ignazio entered the pasta industry. He built his first machine for Vincenzo LaRosa in 1914 under the name I. DeFrancisci & Son.2 I. DeFrancisci & Son, under its current name of DEMACO remains today as the only industrial pasta machine manufacturer in America. As an engineer in Italy, Ignazio built machines and designed food processing systems. In Sicily, he made machines to condense wine to reduce export tariffs and in Sardinia, he designed

  • Multigrain Pasta Processing & Equipment
    Multigrain Pasta Processing & Equipment National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India 2020 1 Introduction Pasta is one of the most widely consumed food product all over the world due to its convenience, versatility and high storage stability. Pasta is made from durum wheat semolina and water by process of extrusion in various sizes and shapes viz., spaghetti, noodles, vermicelli etc. Italy tops the production and consumption of pasta while many other countries like US, Turkey, Brazil, Russia, Iran, Egypt, Argentina and Tunisia also produce and consume pasta on a higher scale. Pasta with ideal physical and sensory quality is characterized by strength and elasticity in the dough form, high tensile strength in dry form, minimum cooking loss, stickiness with good firmness after cooking (Aalami et al., 2007). 2 Production & consumption Source : International Pasta Organization –The world pasta industry status report 20183 .

  • The Development and Evaluation of Measurements on Spaghetti with Diverse Quality Characteristics
    The development and evaluation of measurements on spaghetti with diverse quality characteristics By Elizabeth Mac Gregor Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master’s degree of Science in Consumer Science (Foods) at the Stellenbosch University. December 2005 Study Leader: Dr MC Vosloo Co-Study Leader: Mrs SH Vorster i DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously, in its entirety or in any part, been submitted at any university of a degree. Signature: ______________________ Date: ______________________ ii SUMMARY OF THESIS TITLE: The development and evaluation of measurements on spaghetti with diverse quality characteristics. CANDIDATE: Elizabeth Mac Gregor STUDY LEADER: Dr MC Vosloo DEGREE: Master of Science in Consumer Science (Foods) FACULTY: Natural Science DATE: December 2005 Pasta manufacturing is a process whereby wheat flour is converted into a shelf-stable food that is more desirable than native wheat flour. It can be fortified and may serve as a valuable source of nutrition in developing countries. Quality measures are of importance in the production process to ensure a consistent and acceptable finished product. Literature provides information on many aspects of wheat types, milling techniques and processing of pasta. Protein content and quality of cultivated wheat varieties is of major importance to produce quality pasta products. Wheat types of lower protein content are more readily available than traditionally used durum wheat. As in all food products, the cost of final products is of major importance. Bread wheat is generally less expensive than durum wheat.

Models for semolina on the quality characteristics of spaghetti. Five peak drying strand stickiness and cooking loss had low predictive ability. The super- temperatures (40, 60, 70, 80, and 900 C) and five blends of farina and imposition of the individual contour plots permitted the identification durum (0:100,25:75,50:50,75:25, and 100:0) were studied. Good-fit models of the region where all predicted characteristics met or exceeded commer- were developed for compression and relaxation time of optimally cooked cial durum spaghetti samples. The most limiting factors were the firmness spaghetti, for firmness and compression of overcooked spaghetti, and of optimally cooked spaghetti, relaxation time of overcooked spaghetti, for brightness.

To satisfy these constraints, durum levels ghetti, relaxation time of overcooked spaghetti, purity, and dominant greater than 60% and peak drying temperatures above 60° C were required.

Manthey Chair Dr. Senay Simsek Dr. Jae-Bom Ohm Dr. Dennis P. Wiesenborn Approved: October 27th 2014 Dr. Richard Horsley Date Department Chair ABSTRACT A study was conducted to determine the effect of including non-traditional ingredients on the flow and agglomeration properties of flour formulations, the rheological behavior of pasta dough, and the physical and cooked quality of the spaghetti. The effect of including non- traditional ingredients on the chemical changes that occurred in pasta during pasta making and cooking was also investigated. The formulations used were semolina 100% (S), whole wheat flour 100% (WW), semolina-whole wheat flour (49:51) (SWW), semolina-flaxseed flour (90:10), whole wheat flour-flaxseed flour (90:10), and semolina-whole wheat flour-flaxseed flour (39:51:10). Flaxseed flour was incorporated as fine (FF) or coarse (CF) particles. Depending on the experiment, formulations were hydrated to different levels that ranged between 10 and 34%. Study of the flow and agglomeration properties of the formulations indicated that samples containing whole wheat flour and or flaxseed flour were more cohesive and less prone to flow than samples with 100 or 90% semolina.
