Result of this study during fermentation process showed that the slight increase in lactic acid,
amylose and reducing sugar content was cause by a decrease pH. Hydrolysis of the flour during
fermentation reduced swelling power and increased solubility. The gelatinization temperature and
RVA peak viscosity of rice flour decreased after fermentation. Furthermore, SEM observations
detected some pits on surface of starch granule. The result revealed that fermentation may change
the amorphous region of starch granule and it may modify the properties of rice flour for produce
Kanom-jeen. Further research need to make possible to scaling-up of the production of Kanom-jeen
using starter of L.plantarum P1.
