The objective of this study was to determine the optimal hot-air drying conditions for elaboration of cassava flour to be used in a gluten-free pasta formulation. The results showed that the operational conditions to minimize the hot-air drying time (57£¿min) to produce cassava flour with higher water holding capacity was 57£¿¡æ at 3£¿m/s. Then, the optimal formulation for the pasta was found to be cassava (26£¿g/100£¿g), amaranth flour (12£¿g/100£¿g), and carboxymethyl cellulose (0.23£¿g/100£¿g), which maximized the Aw (0.160), moisture content (3.10£¿g/100£¿g), hardness (5.02£¿N), and protein content (9.30£¿g/100£¿g), and it is used for the sensorial analysis, which showed that an earthy taste was the main problem with consumer satisfaction %K Cassava drying %K gluten-free pastas %K celiac disease %K flour properties %K amaranth flour %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1082013219828269
