The aim of this study was to assess the digestibility of the protein and starch in pasta made with different cereals, i.e. Triticum durum, Triticum polonicum and Triticum dicoccum, and to measure the glycemic index (GI) of the different types of pasta. The digestibility of the starch in T. polonicum pasta differed significantly from the others. It seemed to be less digested than dicoccum and durum wheat pasta. T. polonicum pasta also had a lower glycemic index, while there were no significant differences in the protein digestibility of the three types of pasta.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the digestibility of the protein and starch in pasta made with different cereals, i.e. Triticum durum, Triticum polonicum and Triticum dicoccum, and to measure the glycemic index (GI) of the different types of pasta. The digestibility of the starch in T. polonicum pasta differed significantly from the others. It seemed to be less digested than dicoccum and durum wheat pasta. T. polonicum pasta also had a lower glycemic index, while there were no significant differences in the protein digestibility of the three types of pasta.
