Quality properties of doughs and noodles using chayotextle (Sechiem edule) flours

Abstract The quality and physicochemical properties of dough and noodles made from blends of chayotextle flour and wheat semolina were investigated. The results showed that the inclusion of chayotextle flour increased both the hardness and adhesiveness of the dough, and there was a 10% increase in cohesiveness and elasticity when using this particular flour. Regarding dough extensibility, no significant differences were found (p
