Abstract:Here we found that viscoelastic features of molasses
facilitate
paste formation with wheat bran and rice straw powders, and a subsequent
heat treatment results in significant hardening with dehydration
and the Maillard reaction. This simple two-step process (i.e., blending
and heating) was beneficial to fabricate diverse 3-dimensional shapes.
The hardening process displayed around 3.5, 0.5, and 2.5 MPa as compressive,
tensile, and flexural strengths, respectively, when a 1:1 (v/v) ratio of molasses and th… Show more
