The science of spaghetti: Neutron scattering explains why gluten-free pasta falls apart

3 months ago by cm0002 to c/science

Using small angle neutron and X-ray scattering, researchers from the European Spallation Source and RWTH Aachen University have compared the nanostructure of gluten-free and normal spaghetti, finding that the kind with gluten is much more forgiving to varied cooking conditions.

Oh man this is hilarious (the idea of scientists in a fancy lab running tests on spaghetti) but also really interesting. I got diagnosed with celiac a few years back and have basically stopped eating spaghetti entirely since I can never get it to cook in an edible way.

I eagerly await more research from these spaghetti researchers 🫡
