“…This is in contrast to several other studies which monitored the effect of exogenous fatty acid addition on rice flour RVA profiles (Liang et al, 2002;Zhou et al, 2007). In these studies, addition of LPC or LPE to rice starch increased CPV and decreased SB and BD (Liang et al, 2002), addition of lecithin (PC) to starch increased PV, linoleic acid (C18:2) addition increased CPV (Ai, Hasjim, & Jane, 2013;Zhou et al, 2007) while stearic acid (C18:0) reduced BD (Zhou et al, 2007). No significant correlation between individual LPLs, PV and PT was observed in the present study (Tables 2, 3, 5 and 6), which was in agreement with the findings of Liang et al (2002).…”
