“…Rice flours mainly differ in amylose content, and amylose determines the grain's gelatinisation temperature, general pasting behaviour and viscoelastic properties (Saif, Lan, & Sweat, 2003;Singh, Okadome, Toyoshima, Isobe, & Ohtsubo, 2000). Dias, Elias, Oliveira, and Helbig (2007) studied the oxidation of corn and cassava starches with hydrogen peroxide and reported that cassava starch had a high expansion property in biscuits, while oxidation did not promote an increase in the expansion property of corn starch. Many oxidising reagents can be used to oxidise starch, including periodate (Kanth et al, 2006;Tang, Du, & Fan, 2003;Zhang et al, 2007), hypochlorite (Kuakpetoon & Wang, 2001;Kuakpetoon & Wang, 2008;Wang & Wang, 2003) and hydrogen peroxide (Dias et al, 2007).…”
