Physicochemical and Rheological Characterization of Malaysian Rice Flours and Starches
description Physicochemical and rheological properties of flours and starches from nine Malaysian rice varieties (seven MR and two MRQ) were investigated. The physicochemical properties determined were swelling power (SP), carbohydrate leaching (CL), gelatinization, pasting, and textural characteristics, whereas the rheological properties studied were steady and dynamic shear. The varieties can be classified into low, intermediate and high amylose (AM) rice and also into intermediate and high-gelatinization temperature (GT). The varieties can be clearly grouped into MR and MRQ varieties based on setback (SB) and final (FV) viscosities and textural analysis. MRQ possessed greater SB, FV and gel hardness but lower gel adhesiveness, whereas, MR varieties showed the opposing results.
