Effect of rice variety and milling fraction on the starch gelatinization and rheological properties of rice milk

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the rheological properties of rice milk produced from raw rice including rice varieties and milling fractions. Rice milk was prepared from two rice varieties, which were Arhent (long grain) and Bengal (medium grain) using brown, head and broken fractions of the two cultivars used. Gelatinization temperatures for each rice variety, milling fraction, and rheological behaviors of rice milk were examined. Flow behaviors of rice milk were significantly affected by the variety and milling fractions of raw rice. The different amylose to amylopectin ratios of ...
