Abstract
Instant rice flour products are usually produced by hydrolyzing rice flour using α-amylase. As albumins and globulins are major allergenic proteins in rice flour, the effects of removing albumins and globulins on the thermal stability, food quality and starch digestibility of α-amylase hydrolyzed rice flour of three varieties (FHs including F1H, F2H and F3H) were studied. The removal of albumins and globulins changed the maltose and glucose content of FHs, promoted the rearrangement of starch molecules to different degrees of retrogradation in them, improved their starch digestibility without negatively affecting their reconstituability and sensory quality, and increased the digestive rate of F1H to 82.98 % and the slowly digestible starch content of F3H to 48.44 %. Thus, the removal of albumins and globulins is an effective approach to reduce the allergenicity and improve the quality of FHs, which provides a basis for developing high-quality instant rice flour products with lower allergenicity.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
