Dynamic viscoelasticity measurement.
To examine processability of batter samples, we measured
the dynamic viscoelasticity of batters (rice flour/water, 50/50
wt%) at temperature region (35‒90 °C). Figure 6 shows the
temperature dependence of the storage modulus G′ for the
batters of various size classifications. The storage modulus
G′ of the batters of rice flour 75‒45 µm and < 45 µm were
larger than those of other batters at fermenting temperature
region 35‒45 °C. Larger value of G′ means harder batters.
We consider that hardness of batters of rice flour 75‒45 µm
and < 45 µm prevented formation of large voids under
fermenting conditions. Batters of rice flour 150‒106 µm and
