Northern Crops Institute (NCI) announces the Pasta Production and Technology Short Course will be April 10-12 at Northern Crops Institute, Fargo.
This short course introduces pasta manufacturers to the fundamental and applied aspects of manufacturing extruded and sheeted pasta products. Raw material quality criteria, specifications and processing variables and their impact on final pasta product quality are presented in detail.
Participants will have an opportunity to do actual hands-on pilot-scale pasta processing, followed by a cooking exercise to evaluate the final product. Group activities include an exercise in identifying pasta defects and processing causes, and a field trip to a pasta manufacturing facility. Lectures are supplemented with pilot-scale processing of traditional extruded pasta products. Quality tests employed in the evaluation of raw materials (wheat, semolina, flour) and finished products will be demonstrated.
The course registration fee is $900. Payment in full is due one week before the start of the course. Registration deadline is March 20.
