چکیده

The conventional parboiling of rough rice is a lengthy process that takes 24-28 h to complete. It would be beneficial to the industry if the processing time could be reduced. The objective of this study was to develop an ultrasound based one-step protocol for soaking and gelatinization during rice parboiling. The gelatinization temperature was measured by alkali (KOH) degradation and found to be 72◦C. The combined soaking and gelatinization was conducted at 75◦C with or without sonication (control). The moisture content during soaking was measured following the AOAC oven method. Starch gelatinization was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moisture content after 3 h of ultrasonic soaking (48.6% w.b.) was equivalent to 10 h conventional soaking (44.0% w.b.), indicating that ultrasound reduced some 70% of soaking time. DSC showed that the retrogradation peaks (Tr) values for 80◦C soaking and ultrasonic horn (US.horn) soaking, which were accomplished during 4 h, was 53.8◦C and 53.5◦C, respectively. This showed that US.horn soaked samples at 75◦C partially gelatinized at the same time frame (4 h) with the samples soaked at 80◦C. This study showed the feasibility of ultrasound to enhance the rice parboiling by reducing processing time.

Effect of Germination and Parboiling on Milling, Physicochemical, and Textural Properties of Medium- and Long-grain Rough Rice

Germinated brown rice is commonly consumed in Asia for its enhanced nutritional properties such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and softer cooked texture. However germination decreases milling yield and alters some physicochemical properties, and most germinated rice studies evaluated medium-grain and aromatic rice cultivars. This study compared the effects of germination duration and parboil...

Functional properties as affected by laboratory-scale parboiling of rough rice and brown rice.

Rough rice (RR) is the conventional feedstock for parboiling. The use of brown rice (BR) instead of RR is gaining interest because it results in shorter processing time and lower energy requirement. This study compared the functional properties of milled parboiled rice under different parboiling conditions from RR and BR. Presoaked RR and BR from cultivars Bolivar, Cheniere, Dixiebelle, and Wel...

Effect of Soaking Temperature on Physical and Functional Properties of Parboiled Rice Cultivars Grown in Temperate Region of India

The physical and functional properties of seven parboiled rice cultivars (Jehlum, K-332, Koshar, Pusa-3, SKAU-345, SKAU-382 and SR-1) were investigated at different soaking temperatures of 60 ̊C, 70 ̊C and 80 ̊C and it was compared with the brown raw rice of the respective cultivars. Parboiling was observed to decrease L* value and increase a* and b* values. The hardness of rice was significantly ...
