The effect of the cooling rate (0.16 °C/min, 0.78 °C/min, 1.66 °C/min) on the retrogradation properties of dry-steamed fried rice during the refrigeration period (0–3 d) was investigated. The increased cooling rate from 0.16 to 1.66 °C/min led to a weakening of stability of the fried rice gel and an increase in the loss of moisture content of the fried rice from 0.86% to 7.11% after 3 d of refrigeration. The cooling rate of 0.78 °C/min slowed the increase in hardness of fried rice and resulted in a lower short-range ordering (0.85) as well as the least increase in relative crystallinity (9.51%) after 3 d of refrigeration. However, a cooling rate of 1.66 °C/min resulted in a crispy texture and the worst sensory quality of the fried rice after reheating. Both the 0.16 °C/min and the 1.66 °C/min cooling rates increased the viscosity and reduced the thermal stability of the fried rice paste system.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ohmic heating parboiling (OP) on milling, physical properties, and nutritional composition of Kodo millet and compared it with conventional parboiling (CP). Kodo millet was soaked at 50 °C, 60 °C, and 70 °C for 5 h, 2.5 h, and 1.5 h respectively to attain a moisture content of 30%. The soaked millet was parboiled for 20 min at a voltage gradient of 14 V/cm.

HGY increased by 22.69% in CP and 28.03 % in OP, however, with an increase in the soaking temperature, HGY increased by 5.19–5.49%. A significant decrease was observed in the broken percentage.
