The Effect of Variety and Processing Methods on the Functional and Chemical Properties of Rice Flour

Abstract: The effect of varieties, local (Abakalike) and foreign (Mama Gold) and two processing methods, semi-dry and wet grinding methods on the characteristics of rice flour were investigated. Functional and chemical properties of the rice flour were analyzed using standard methods. The functional parameters analyzed were dispersibility, relative bulk density, swelling power and water absorption capacity while chemical parameter were moisture content, protein, ash, sugar, starch, amylase and amylopectin. The parameter… Show more

“…More, a wide range of food, including bread, noodles, cakes, cookies, muffins, pre-mix, drinks, vinegar, surimi and artificial meat can use rice flour as a primary ingredient. In this sense, it would be necessary to grind the rice grains with mills that do not damage the starch grains very much, an essential condition in its gelatinization, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The milling equipment has a special importance on the functional properties of rice flour [2].…”

“…These values of solubility index were varied more than the report of Eke-Ejiofor and Owuno (2012) on wheat flour and in range with the report of Eke-Ejiofor and Nwiganale (2016) on rice flour. The sample (Abakaliki rice) with higher solubility assosociated with the decreasing of its chain length of the starch molecules thereby decreasing the hydrogen bonds binding the granules together (Eke-Ejiofor and Nwiganale, 2016).…”

“…The increasing amount of HCY increased the dispersibility, indicating that HCY had the best dispersibility among the pigmented rice samples. The dispersibility determines the tendency of flour to distribute in water molecules and to reconstitute (Ashogbon and Akintayo, 2012;Joy and Ledogo, 2016). According to Goalard et al (2006), the dispersibility of powdered products is highly correlated with the wettability, where the fat content is one of the main factors.…”
