This study was conducted to determine the effect of composite rice (Riceberry and Red jasmine rice) flour ratio and germination process on the physical and chemical properties and sensory characteristics of brownies. The ratios of Riceberry and Red jasmine rice flour at 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 were investigated. As the amount of red jasmine rice flour increased, affected physical properties by increasing in the specific volume and L*, a*, b* values but decreased the hardness. However, there was no influenced on chemical composition. The sensory characteristics were found to increase with increasing ratio of red jasmine rice flour. However, there were no significance (p>0.05) different on sensory characteristics except the taste attribute score. Thus, the selected ratio was 50:50 Riceberry and Red jasmine rice flour. The effect of germination was found to increase specific volume, and L*, a*, b* values but decreased reducing sugar. There was no significance (p>0.05) different of sensory characteristics between brownies made from raw and germinated rice flours. Therefore, rice grains should be germinated before utilization of rice flour as substitution of wheat flour to produce gluten free product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
