摘要
Paddy rice samples were parboiled by soaking at 65℃ for 180 min and steaming at 96℃ for 2–10 min,and then dried to achieve the final moisture content of 11% ± 1%. The degree of starch gelatinization (DSG) andseveral quality attributes (head rice yield (HRY), color value and hardness) of parboiled rice were measured.Results showed that DSG (46.8%–77.9%), color value (18.08–19.04) and hardness (118.6–219.2 N) allincreased following steaming. In contrast, the HRY increased (64.8%–67.1%) for steaming times between 2–4min but decreased (67.1%–65.0%) for steaming times between 4–10 min. Linear relations between DSG andcolor value (R2 = 0.87), and DSG and hardness (R2 = 0.88) were observed. The suitable DSG of parboiled riceleading to the highest HRY was found to be 62.5%, obtained following 4 min of steaming.
