Press INN .- The National Institute of Nutrition conducted in late 2007, a sample of handmade pasta with 30% substitution of wheat for grain Creoles as rice and maize, where the results showed the same nutritional and caloric composition containing pasta made from 100% wheat flour.
The development undertaken by the INN through its Department of Food Research seeks to "demonstrate that the substitution proposed by the revolutionary government does not detract the nutritional contribution to the Venezuelans, however, has several properties, preparation once boiled the water is only 10 minutes and 100% texture is al dente, "said Jose Parra research participant.
The paste created by the INN with 30% substitution durum wheat for rice shows a 12% protein and 400.81 calories (energy) which is compared with a sample made by Industrias Capri containing 10% substitution of rice and wheat were few differences as 11% protein and 357 calories, showing that the substitution can be achieved by 30% without reducing the nutritional quality.
The National Institute of Nutrition as a being a guarantor of food policy in our country assesses the nutritional quality of food composition and digestibility "and in this case the quality is the same, this pasta is fully digested even that created 100% whole wheat "said Parra.
In this sense, the INN seeks to verify that no substitutions expense of nutritional quality of foods, thus contributing to food sovereignty given by the revolutionary government and then decrease gradually import dependence wheat and promote domestic industry.
Since 2007, the INN has participated in workshops with other state agencies such as the People's Ministry of Light Industry and Commerce (Milco) and the Agriculture and Lands to support the initiatives which have been agreed evaluation ( part of the INN) pasta samples produced by firms such as Cargill of Venezuela, Allegri, Sindoni, and Capri and so far only been obtained the sample of the latter.
Employers argue that the state does not take into account the changes required for them, "but the agreement is to gradually replace and adapt the technology is only a matter of will," said Jose Parra INN investigator.
