Patent Trade Mark Attorneys Level 3, 20 Alfred Street MILSONS POINT NSW 2061 ALIMENTARY PASTA COMPRISING INDIAN CORN FLOUR Standard Patent Application No. 39927/95 dated 22 November 1995 Invention Title: Divisional Application Details: The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: Technical Field This invention has alimentary pasta as an object.
Background Art In prior art pre-cooked alimentary pasta is well known and is marketed in alternative to raw alimentary pasta always dried and packaged in normal packaging in either plastic or cardboard.
The technique of the pre-cooking consists however in firstly making the raw pasta with *a flour dough of raw wheat and water and then market it like this after drying always in the raw state, or pre-cook it and subsequently dry it for marketing in the pre-cooked state (this second solution is only found in pasta sheets for lasagne and the like).
The marketing at the pre-cooked state however is therefore very limited both as the flavour is not appreciated, and because it maintains the taste of "overcooked" pasta.
*oooo For this reason the substantial diffusion and consumption of raw pasta remains, however this has the drawback of the cooking time.
The type of alimentary pasta which this invention refers to is the pasta ready in the form, already dried, like spaghetti, bucatini, orecchiette, noodles, penne and pennette, etc. destine to the more or less quick cooking time, with the immission into boiling water.
It is known from prior art that the traditional type of alimentary pasta is made with the flour dough of tender and/or hard grain or a mixture of these, with water.
Other eventual additives like salt, eggs, etc., do not modify the substantial basic preparation which is flour at its raw state and water.
The drawback of this type of pasta derives also from the fact that it has substantially only one flavour, that is that of the wheat flour.
Alternating flavours cannot be obtained, because the use of other flour as for example that of Indian corn does not have the necessary gluten conglomeration and would require for this reason either dough with wheat flour or dough with other agglutination °oo and/or sticky products.
One of these solutions is disclosed in DATABASE WPI Section Ch. Week 8637, Derwent Publications Ltd. London GB; Class D11, AN 86-243523 XP002000006 GPA, 56051962 (MAMA MACARONI KK), 9 May 1981; abstract Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 005, no. 114 (C-064) 23 July 1981, which disclose a "Macaroni S"manufacture mix Indian corn alphastarch macaroni powder to give 5-40 per cent corn and converting starch with hot water".
9o In particular J86035816, discloses a method to produce macaroni that comprises mixing yellow Indian corn powder with alphastarch of 20-50% with raw powder of macaroni so that the corn powder content is 5-40.
For this reason pasta factories have always continued to produce wheat pasta even if varying it with the addition of colours and different flavours for example the green pasta (with for example spinach extract), the yellow with egg yolks), the red, the black, etc.
Other known variations are for example the pasta of other types of wheat like rye, barley and also wholemeal, however they all bring us to the basic component, wheat flour.
There remains consequently, according to the purpose of the present invention, the necessity to find alternative pasta possibilities which please the palate, and therefore the consumer, that maintain the concept of "pasta al dente" (not over-cooked) but with much shorter cooking times, which can only be given from pre-cooked pasta, but without the aspect and the flavour of "pasta scotta" (over-cooked pasta) but always with the flavour of "pasta al dente".
The aim of this invention is to avoid to the above-mentioned drawbacks making possible the realization of an alimentary pasta with a new and very appreciated and well tested flavour.
••This and other aims are reached as claimed by means of the realization of a pasta of the type conformed in the various shapes of the common alimentary pasta of wheat, but substantially characterized by being realized with Indian corn flour rather than that of wheat and furthermore characterized by the fact that the Indian corn flour used for the S"dough is pre-cooked.
In this way, all the abovementioned drawbacks are avoided, for the fact that while the raw flour of Indian corn does not have an agglutinating effect, that is, if kneaded with water is not able to form a sticky dough such to be able to be formed or shaped before -"drying therefore needing other products like wheat flour or other agglutination products, cooked or pre-cooked Indian corn flour fully explicates such agglutinating effect, therefore it mixes perfectly with the water like the raw wheat flour.
In other words, the desired dough effect is obtained in exactly the opposite way to the present technique of preparing pasta (use of raw wheat flour) instead with the use of Indian corn flour not raw but cooked pre-cooked.
The process for making it is therefore: cook the raw Indian corn flour or use pre-cooked Indian corn flour; use the dough in water of cooked or pre-cooked Indian corn flour for the forming and/or shaping of the pasta in the desired shapes (spaghetti, noodles, orecchiette, penne, etc.) dry the product obtained; pack the dry product for marketing.
The product obtained will be an alimentary pasta with the typical flavour of polenta but with the shape and the characteristics of wheat pasta in a completely new flavour, alimentarily healthy and inviting and always "al dente".
Further advantage derives obviously that a pasta of this pre-cooked type needs an extremely short amount of time to cook (less than half) if compared to the time required for cooking the traditional raw pasta cooking of a wheat flour base and notwithstanding always maintaining the pleasant flavour of the "al dente" pasta because of the unusual characteristics of dried Indian corn flour, even in the pre-cooked state.
Therefore with this solution in a simple way and surprisingly unthought of until now, all the desired scopes are obtained, fully avoiding the problems of complaint and with a flour (Indian corn) of easy reach, cheap and by all means of largest diffusion for its appreciated consumption.
Naturally the dough for pasta can also contain wheat flour, this does not invalidate the substance of the patent provided as it contains Indian corn flour in the pre-cooked state as its basic element.
