Traditional cereal-based products in the Peja region
Session
Agriculture, Food Science and Technology
Description
Traditional cereal-based foods are some of the most popular and consumed traditional foods within and between Kosovo residents and visitors. These food products have an old history of production and consumption and have been passed from one generation to the next in our country, which is young as a state but with a very old tradition. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity of traditional cereal-based products that are produced in Peja region. Informations for this study were carried out by local restaurants and from families that produce food for their own consumption and for sale on a small scale in Rugova region. Our investigation for this study is focused on the diversity of cereal-based products and the ingredients of these products. Among several cereal-based products, produced and consumed in Rugova region, three of them were dominant such as Fli, Leqenik and Pogaҫe. The production method and the types of ingredients added to these products were
the same between different manufacturers. This is the first study to report the diversity and ingredients of traditional cereal- based products in Kosovo. Further investigation is needed to know more about physico-chemical and microbiological
characterization of these products.

Traditional cereal-based foods are some of the most popular and consumed traditional foods within and between Kosovo residents and visitors. These food products have an old history of production and consumption and have been passed from one generation to the next in our country, which is young as a state but with a very old tradition. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity of traditional cereal-based products that are produced in Peja region. Informations for this study were carried out by local restaurants and from families that produce food for their own consumption and for sale on a small scale in Rugova region. Our investigation for this study is focused on the diversity of cereal-based products and the ingredients of these products. Among several cereal-based products, produced and consumed in Rugova region, three of them were dominant such as Fli, Leqenik and Pogaҫe.
