Starch and flour from the same rice grain source (with 20, 25 and 30% moisture content) were exposed to heat-moisture treatment (HMT) at 100 °C for 16 h in order to investigate whether there were differences in their susceptibility to modification by HMT and, if any, to determine the main causes of the differences. HMT had a far greater effect on paste viscosity of flour than of starch. A significant increase in paste viscosity after removal of proteins from HMT flour - as well as images of fast green-stained HMT flour gels - indicated that an important role was played by proteins in affecting properties of the modified samples. Greater effects of HMT on thermal parameters of gelatinization and gel hardness values of flours were observed - more so than those for starches. Following this observation, it was ascertained that components in rice flour other than rice starch granules also underwent alterations during HMT.

Article Synopsis
  • Black rice, known for its rich nutritional profile, has been historically cultivated in Asia, particularly China, but struggles with low production and consumption due to subpar cooking and eating quality.
  • Researchers explored the use of the Rice Taste Evaluation System (RTES) to effectively assess these qualities, testing 775 samples from various accessions.
  • The study found a strong correlation between RTES results and sensory evaluation scores, suggesting that RTES is a reliable tool for evaluating the cooking and eating quality of black rice, which could aid in breeding and other applications.

Article Synopsis
  • Research has focused on using natural plant materials, like gallic acid (GA), to influence post-meal blood sugar levels by forming complexes with amylose in starch, leading to resistant starch.
  • The study compared the properties of normal rice starch and rice starch-GA composites processed through high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and thermal treatments, noting significant structural changes during digestion.
  • The HHP processing resulted in unique gel structures and a marked increase in resistant starch, indicating that HHP might be an effective method for creating starch-based foods with better digestion profiles.

The in vitro model is widely preferred for digestion research due to its simplicity, reproducibility, and ethical advantages. However, the differences between in vivo and in vitro digestion present challenges. This study first developed an in vitro oral processing system to explore the influence of saliva volume and chewing time on the physicochemical properties of japonica rice (JR), indica rice (IR), and waxy rice (WR).

It is meaningful to explore the addition of additives and the structural characteristics of water on the quality of rice noodles. Herein, the effects of the addition of cassava starch and the size of water clusters on physicochemical and cooking properties of rice noodles were systematically studied. The addition of 25 % cassava starch effectively enhanced the swelling performance and textural properties of rice noodles.
