Optimisation of a quality improver for instant rice and its quality properties
2014
Summary Three additives were optimised for the sensory characteristics, textural and physicochemical properties of
instantrice by using
response surface methodology(RSM) and principal component analysis (PCA). Comprehensive evaluation indicated that 0.025% glycerol monolaurate (GML), 0.58% β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and 0.41% alcohol formed a new quality improver of
instantrice. Moreover, several specific quality properties of
instantrice were further studied. Compared with freshly cooked rice,
instantrice with or without optimised additives owned much lower quality. The microstructure observation and pasting properties by Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) analysis implied that quality improver could distinctly ameliorate the texture and viscoelastic properties. Simultaneously, the quality improver had no significant effects on the starch digestion. But, it could retard short-term starch retrogradation of
instantrice, namely △Hr value decreasing from 1.511 J g−1 to 1.386 J g−1.
