This study is aimed to assess the suitability of T. aestivum wheat milled products and its combinations with T. durum semolina with additives such as ascorbic acid, vital gluten and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) for pasta processing quality characteristics such as pasta dough rheology, microstructure, cooking quality, and sensory evaluation. Rheological studies showed maximum dough stability in Comb1 (T. aestivum wheat flour and semolina). Colour and cooking quality of Comb2 (T. durum semolina and T. aestivum wheat flour) and Comb3 (T. aestivum wheat semolina and T. durum semolina) were comparable with control. Pasting results indicated that T. aestivum semolina gave the lowest onset gelatinization temperature (66.9°C) but the highest peak viscosity (1.053 BU). Starch release was maximum in Comb1 (53.45%) when compared with control (44.9%) as also proved by microstructure studies. Firmness was seen to be slightly high in Comb3 (2.430 N) when compared with control (2.304 N), and sensory evaluations were also in the acceptable range for the same. The present study concludes that Comb3 comprising 50% T. durum semolina and 50% T. aestivum refined wheat flour with additives would be optimal alternate for 100% T. durum semolina for production of financially viable pasta.

Article Synopsis
- - Pasta has a low glycemic index and is a key component of the Mediterranean diet, providing dietary fiber because it's made from durum wheat semolina, which retains its structural integrity.
- - Although typically classed as a refined carbohydrate and part of "unhealthy plant-based diets", pasta has shown health benefits in various studies, challenging this negative perception.
- - There's a growing call for re-evaluating how we categorize dietary carbohydrates to better reflect their structural complexity and positive health impacts.

The behavioural response of adult maize weevil, , to different types of semolina pasta enriched or not enriched with increasing proportions (5%, 10%, and 15%) of house cricket () powder was investigated in olfactometer arena bioassays by using trap devices. In the five-choice behavioural bioassays, the number of adults attracted to 100% durum wheat semolina pasta was significantly higher than those attracted to the other pasta types enriched with powder. In the two-choice behavioural bioassays, the Response Index for each pasta type was positive and significant.

Many staple foods originate from durum wheat and its milling products; because of this, it is very important to know their characteristics. This study investigates elemental contents in these products and if differences exist because of organic farming. The concentrations of 28 elements in the whole seed and in milling products, that is, bran, semolina and flour, of durum wheat, were determined through ICP-OES.
