The applicability of a microcone plate viscometer for measuring some rheological properties of cooked milled rice slurries was studied on milled rices differing in cooked rice texture properties. Viscosity and flow parameters of 10 or 12.5% boiled milled rice slurries were estimated by Power Law Model with a Wells‐Brookfield RVTCP microcone plate viscometer with 2.4 cm diam. 1.565° cone at 25°C and compared with data from other methods. Cooking of the sample was critical in obtaining reproducible results. Selected pairs of samples of similar amylose contents differing in cooked‐rice texture properties by sensory and instrument methods differed also in Power Law parameters flow behavior index n and consistency coefficient m. Apparent viscosity at 10 and 20 rpm may be used to index m, but not n. Differences in m and apparent viscosity were not always those predicted by other texture indexes. Alkali spreading value at adjusted KOH concentrations may be useful in texture differentiation among rices with similar values in 1:7% KOH.
The storage experiment was carried out under low temperature, comparing with natural conditions, from Feb. 1959 to Sept. 1960 in order to investigate the changes of chemical
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.
