Physicochemical Properties of Hom Nil (Oryza sativa) Rice Flour as Gluten Free Ingredient in Bread

Abstract

Hom Nil (Oryza sativa), a Thai black rice, contains polyphenolic compounds which have antioxidant properties. The objective of this study was to investigate physicochemical properties of Hom Nil rice flour (HN) and its application in gluten free bread by using Hom Mali 105 rice flour (HM) as the reference. The results demonstrated that HN flour had significantly higher average particle sizes (150 ± 0.58 µm), whereas the content of amylose (17.6 ± 0.2%) was lower than HM flour (particle sizes = 140 ± 0.58 µm; amylose content = 21.3 ± 0.6%). Furthermore, HN contained higher total phenolic compounds (TPC) (2.68 ± 0.2 mg GAE/g flour), total anthocyanins (293 ± 30 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside/g flour), and the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (73.5 ± 1.5 mM FeSO4/g) than HM flour (TPC = 0.15 mg GAE/g flour and FRAP = 2.24 mM FeSO4/g flour). In thermal properties, the onset temperature (To), the peak temperature (Tp) and the conclusion (Tc) temperature of HN flour were similar to the values of HM flour. However, HN flour had lower enthalpy change (ΔH) than HM flour. The results showed that HN flour had lower swelling power and higher solubility than HM flour at the temperature between 55 °C and 95 °C. In pasting properties, HN flour also showed lower peak, trough and breakdown viscosity than HM flour. In addition, the bread samples prepared by HN flour had higher value of hardness and lower value of cohesiveness than the bread prepared from HM flour. Taken together, the findings suggest that HN flour could be used as an alternative gluten-free ingredient for bread product.

“…The determination of amylose content was done according to a previous report [ 14 ]. Briefly, the sample (10 mg) was dispersed in 100 μL of 95% ethanol and 100 μL of 1 M NaOH, then incubated at room temperature for 10 min.…”

Investigating the structural properties and in vitro digestion of rice flours

“…Several commercial gluten‐free products such as bread, noodles, and cakes are made from white rice due to effective economical raw material (Mun & Shin, 2018). The consumption of white rice and its products increases the risks of diabetes and metabolic diseases (An et al., 2016; Thiranusornkij et al., 2018). As the diabetic's prevalence is increasing in the world, therefore, the glycemic index needs to be reduced in rice‐based food products by screening the rice varieties with low starch digestibility (Klunklin & Savage, 2018; Wang et al., 2017).…”
