CONCLUSIONS
The following new findings for rice batter were obtained
in the present study:
I) The degree of starch damage increased with decreasing
the modal diameter of the rice flours produced by a jet mill
type pulverizer.
II) The batter made by the pulverized flour (106‒75 µm)
had the highest expansion ratio of void and a good processability
for baking breads compared to other particle size
batters.
III) Particle size of crystalline rice flour affected value of
G′ in the fermentation process and gelatinization behavior in
the baking process.
With these new findings we conclude that the rice bread
with high expansion ratio is realized by only controlling
particle size of crystalline rice flour without using amorphous
rice flour.
