2.2.4. Gelatinisation temperature
Milled rice grains were ground in a Cyclotec cyclone mill to pass through a 0.5 mm mesh. The ground samples (5 mg, db) were accurately weighed into the aluminium sample pans where accurately weighed deionised water (10 μL) was added to it. The sample pans were hermetically sealed and kept at least 1 h at room temperature to equilibrate. DSC measurements were done in Toledo DSC 822e with the heating rate of 10 °C per minute. The temperature corresponding to the peak of the endotherm was recognized as gelatinisation temperature.
