Abstract
Natural aging changes the physicochemical and technological properties of rice grains. However, this process requires space and a long storage time. For this reason, new technologies have been studied as a way to improve the quality of rice, regarding the consumers preference. This study is a systematic review of the literature on artificial aging of rice using emerging technologies. Rice aged artificially with technologies such as microwave, ultrasound, radiofrequency, infrared, steaming, and heating exhibited physicochemical and technological characteristics close to those observed in the natural aging of rice, especially in cooking properties. The main changes observed in rice grains were milling, cooking, textural, and pasting properties. Accelerated aging methods for rice can enhance time efficiency and diminish the costs in rice processing industries. Furthermore, the use of different technology approaches allows the discrimination of fresh rice from aged rice, which is crucial to avoid fraudulence in the industry.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stored Products Research provides an international medium for the publication of both reviews and original results from laboratory and field studies on the preservation and safety of stored products, notably food stocks, covering storage-related problems from the producer through the supply chain to the consumer. Stored products are characterised by having relatively low moisture content and include raw and semi-processed foods, animal feedstuffs, and a range of other durable items, including materials such as clothing or museum artefacts.
