Abstract

Andean purple maize (PM) contains fibers and natural pigments, which could improve the quality of extruded products. In this project, we evaluated the technological properties of a breakfast cereal formulated with substitution of commercial yellow corn by PM whole-flour in 25% (PM25), 50% (PM50), 75% (PM75) and 100%(PM100). The results show that as the concentration of PM increases in breakfast cereal, it presents a greater intensity of the purple color and water absorption index, at the same time that decrease its instrumental hardness and expansion index.
