Effects of Reheating Methods on Rheological and Textural Characteristics of Rice Starch with Different Gelatinization Degrees

Abstract

Pregelatinized starch (PGS) is often used to improve the processing quality of foodstuffs, but little attention has been paid to the effects of different reheating methods and degree of starch gelatinization (DSG) on their rheological and textural properties. In this study, pregelatinized rice starches (RS) with gelatinization degrees ranging from 58% to 100% were prepared via different Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) heating procedures and reheated in various methods, including high-power microwave (HM), low-power microwave (LM), and water bath. The rheological behavior and textural properties were explored, and the results demonstrated that the consistency, gel strength, hardness, and springiness of PGS in all tested samples decreased significantly after reheating. The storage modulus (G’) of PGS increased dramatically while the thermal stability decreased. Interestingly, the reheating methods possessed various effects on the starch of different DSG.

“…The xanthan gum addition can improve the starch gels extrudability and printing accuracy, which was verified by the method of computational fluid dynamics simulation. The gelatinized starch gel reheating leads to a decrease in strength, hardness and elasticity [ 13 , 14 ]. Meanwhile, in rice starch gel research, the squeezability and structural recovery rate of rice starch gel improved after adding cate-chins.…”
