Physicochemical, morphological, rheological characteristics and finite element modelling of wheat flour, rice starch gluten were studied in this work. The physicochemical analysis flour exhibited almost similar to without present. Rice contained higher value carbohydrate fibres compared starch. Likewise, interacted strongly with water oil due absorption, solubility absorption indices SEM images...

Starch biosynthesis and starch granule packaging in cereal endosperms involve a coordinated action of starch biosynthesis enzymes and coordination with other metabolisms. Because directly binding to starch granules, starch granule-associated proteins (SGAPs) are essential to understand the underlying mechanisms, however the information on SGAPs remains largely unknown. Here, we dissected develo...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of three different fillers i.e. rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch, on the physico-chemical and sensory attributes of chicken meat caruncles, so as to find the best filler for chicken snacks. Four different batches were prepared as follows control (35% refined wheat flour), T-1 (22.75% refined wheat flour + 12.25% rice flour), T...

The effect of germination time on physicochemical characteristics of brown rice flour and its effect on gluten free bread qualities have been investigated. Germination was carried out at 28 °C and 100 % RH for 12, 24 and 48 h; brown rice and soaked brown rice was also analyzed. Significant changes on hydration and pasting properties of brown rice flour were found during germination. The starch ...

Starch is a prominent component of the human diet and is hydrolyzed by α-amylase post-ingestion. Probing the mechanism of this process has proven challenging, due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of individual starch granules. By means of solution-state NMR, we demonstrate that flexible polysaccharide chains protruding from the solvent-exposed surfaces of waxy rice starch granules are highly mobi...

The levels of starch, soluble sugars, protein, and enzymes involved in starch metabolism-alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, phosphorylase, Q-enzyme, R-enzyme, and starch synthetase -were assayed in dehulled developing rice grains (Oryzasativa L., variety IR8). Phosphorylase, Q-enzyme, and R-enzyme had peak activities 10 days after flowering, whereas alpha- and beta-amylases had maximal activities 14 ...

A comprehensive analysis of the transcript levels of genes which encode starch-synthesis enzymes is fundamental for the assessment of the function of each enzyme and the regulatory mechanism for starch biosynthesis in source and sink organs. Using quantitative real-time RT-PCR, an examination was made of the expression profiles of 27 rice genes encoding six classes of enzymes, i.e. ADPglucose p...

Starch is the main storage carbohydrate in higher plants. Although several enzymes and regulators for starch biosynthesis have been characterized, a complete regulatory network for starch synthesis in cereal seeds remains elusive. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the rice Brittle1 (OsBT1) gene, which is expressed specifically in the developing endosperm. The osbt1 muta...

Popped rice is a common, chip and nutritious breakfast item widely consumed in India. We analyzed functional, physicochemical and nutritional properties of raw rice (RR) and popped rice (PR) of some Indian rice cultivars (Kalabhat, Banskathi, JP-73, Kabirajsal, Dehradun Gandheswari). RR of Kabirajisal showed better physical grain quality among all whereas Banskathi and Dehradun gandheswari was ...

In rice, several allergens have been identified such as the non-specific lipid transfer protein-1, the α-amylase/trypsin-inhibitors, the α-globulin, the 33 kDa glyoxalase I (Gly I), the 52-63 kDa globulin, and the granule-bound starch synthetase. The goal of the present study was to define optimal rice extraction and detection methods that would allow a sensitive and reproducible measure of sev...
