This study developed a technology to prepare cupcakes with a reduced sodium content from fine whole-ground wheat flour and ozonated water. Cavitation technology was utilised to reduce the sodium content, to shorten the cooking time, and to improve the consistency of the dough by accelerated churning. The dough was obtained by cavitation loosening under compressed air pressure and increasing the speed to 900 rpm.

Therefore, ion-ozonated water was used in the work, and whole-grain flour from soft wheat of the Almaly variety and pumpkin powder were used as raw materials to improve the quality and nutritional value of the pasta. This study investigated the effects of ion-ozone concentration in ion-ozonated water C, water temperature t, pumpkin powder content C and drying temperature t on various characteristics affecting the quality of pasta, including its organoleptic physical, chemical, and rheological properties.
