It has been found that commercial water-soluble soybean polysaccharides (SSPS) can make cooked rice and noodles non-sticky and prevent rice grains and noodles from adhering to each other. We studied in detail the phenomenon of rice cooked with SSPS. We assumed that the phenomenon resulted from the interaction between SSPS and starch during cooking, and studied the effects of SSPS on the gelatin...

The manufacturing processes used determined the physicochemical properties of the three kinds of rice food, garaeduk, bagsulgi, and cooked rice. The initial rate of hydrolysis by porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase (PPA) was affected by the food form. The firmer structure of garaeduk was apparently responsible for the difficulty in maceration, resulting in less digestion than with easily digestibl...

An appropriate in vitro starch digestion model is necessary to comparatively evaluate the digestibility of starch samples and to help predict the in vivo glycemic responses of starchy foods. In the present study, the effect of trypsin and chymotrypsin on in vitro digestion of rice starch was studies for the first time. Inclusion of the trypsin and chymotrypsin in the digestion protocols, to mor...

We investigated the growth characteristics and analyzed the physicochemical properties of a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between "Cheongcheong" and "Nagdong" to breed a rice variety that tastes good after cooking and to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with the taste of cooked rice. The results showed that these compounds also represent a normal distribution. ...

in recent years, heavy metal contamination of rice in different parts of the world has raised concerns about its safety and provoked crisis in it's global production and trade. in iran, also some studies have reported on the heavy metal contamination of native products. however, the concentration of heavy metals in rice grain could be influenced through preparation and cooking. this study aimed...

A method of growing Rhizopus oligosporus on cooked rice as the inoculum for the fermentation of soybeans into tempeh was described and evaluated. Isolated R. oligosporus spores on glass beads survived best at low temperature and intermediate humidity. The activity of the rice-grown inoculum to ferment soybeans into tempeh did not decrease appreciably when stored desiccated for one year at 4 C o...

Textural attributes of cooked rice (100 samples) were predicted using pasting properties. Two textural attributes (hardness and stickiness) were evaluated by a texture analyzer and seven pasting-property parameters as well as profile data measured by a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA) were used to evaluate predictive models of the textural attributes using Partial Least Squares Regression. The textur...

The antioxidant effect of far infrared–treated rice hull (FRH) extracts in irradiated turkey breast meat was compared with that of sesamol and rosemary oleoresin. The FRH extracts significantly decreased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances values and volatile aldehydes (hexanal, pentanal, and propanal) and was effective in reducing the production of dimethyl disulfide responsible for irradi...

This study analyzed eight cooked species of fish and one species of shrimps (grilled, curried, fried and cooked in rice) commonly consumed in Bahrain for their proximate, mineral and heavy metal content. The results reveled that the protein content was in the range of 22.8-29.2 g/100 g, while the fat content was between 2.9-11.9 g/100 g. The energy content was the highest in the fried Scomberom...
