    Abstract:
    In recent years, natural food colouring components have been sought. The conducted study presents the possibility of using different legume flours as a colouring component in durum wheat semolina pasta. The impact of legume flours addition on chemical composition, cooking quality, and sensory properties of pasta was also investigated. The pasta was fortified with 0-20% of green pea, red lentil, and grass pea flours and was made using lamination technology. An increase in the amount of the legume flour caused a significant increase in the content of dietary fibre, ash, protein, and essential amino acids, including lysine. The addition of the legume flours changed the colour of the pasta samples. Most suitable colouring component of all the studied legume flours was the red lentil flour. The pasta with 20% addition of red lentil flour had the most intense colouring (ΔE = 11.31), highest level of consumer acceptance and were characterized by acceptable cooking losses (7.47% d.m.), appropriate weight increase index (2.44), and high firmness.
