This study utilized hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology to develop functional resistant rice formulations with enhanced physiological properties. Physicochemical characterization using SEM, XRD, FTIR, and TGA revealed that HME processing induced a transition from crystalline to amorphous states, evidenced by the collapse of A-type crystallinity, weakening of hydrogen-bond networks, and partial starch retrogradation. <em>in vitro</em> functional assays, all HME-processed formulations exhibited superior α-amylase inhibitory activity compared to the control. Notably, formulations F4 and F5 exhibited strong α-amylase inhibition, reaching 62.5% and 68.8%, respectively, even at the lowest tested concentration (1.25 mg/mL). In addition, F5 showed the highest pancreatic lipase inhibition, reaching approximately 80–90%, indicating dual functionality in regulating carbohydrate digestion and lipid hydrolysis.

Tensile tests indicate that apical fibres exhibit higher strength, whilst basal fibres, which are less strong, display increased stiffness. This mechanical variability, linked in particular to differences in diameter, can be described by the Weibull model. The longitudinal sampling approach demonstrates that the midrib constitutes a structured resource enabling the targeted selection of fibres according to specific applications.
