Abstract
Microwave-stabilized rice aleurone layer flour (MSF) was prepared (600 W, 150 s, 18% moisture) and added (0-5%) to early-indica rice flour blends and semi-dried rice noodles (SDRNs). In blends, MSF decreased L*, b* but increased a*; improved water-holding, water absorption, solubility, swelling power; increased gelatinization temperatures but lowered pasting viscosities; reduced G′, G″ but enhanced gel hardness, cohesiveness, springiness (with uniform pores). For SDRNs, MSF increased breakage and cooking loss, yet improved sensory scores (aroma, appearance, texture) and hardness. Springiness increased then decreased; >5% caused cracks. MSF redistributed moisture (less weakly bound, more tight/free water) in SDRNs, decreased RDS (9.8%) and SDS (7.5%), raised RS (7.5%), lowering eGI and GL. MSF enhanced gel quality and nutrition, but addition ≤5% is critical for balance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
