This study investigated the effects of consumption of wheat-durum pasta added of inactivated by gamma-irradiation (paraprobiotic) on health and gut microbiota of rats. Twenty-one male rats were divided into three groups as follow: control (Control) receiving standard diet; pasta control (PC) receiving diet containing pasta, and paraprobiotic pasta irradiated (PPBI), receiving paraprobiotic pasta. The serum levels of glucose and total cholesterol were reduced ( < 0.05) in PPBI when compared to the Control ( < 0.05). PPBI showed high abundance ( ˂ 0.05) of and and a lower abundance of compared to Control and PC. Besides, the PPBI showed high abundance ( ˂ 0.05) of , ; , , and in comparison to Control. Specific genera such as and a were more related to PPBI. Findings reveal wheat-durum pasta as a potential vehicle for delivering paraprobiotics .

An integrated approach based on the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of metal particles in foods was devised and validated. Different raw materials and food products, like wheat, durum wheat, wheat flour, semolina, cookies, and pasta were considered. Attention was paid to the development of sample treatment protocols for each type of sample to avoid potential artifacts such as aggregation or agglomeration.

Tetraploid wheat (durum wheat) is mainly used for the preparation of pasta. As a result of breeding, thousands of tetraploid wheat varieties exist, but also tetraploid landraces are still maintained and used for local food preparations. Gluten proteins present in wheat can induce celiac disease, a T-cell mediated auto-immune disorder, in genetically predisposed individuals after ingestion.
