It was found that the combined modified rice starch of 1% STMP and 4% STPP provided the highest freeze-thaw stability among the modified rice starches with 1% STMP or 4% STPP because of the branching of the phosphate groups and the effects of the dramatic high peak and final viscosities of the starch paste. However, the formation of sponge-like structure was not occurred during the freeze-thaw cycles. This type of modified rice starch could be selected for preparing food products with good freeze-thaw stsbility.
