Effects of PSD
on the quality of rice cupcakes were investigated using the newly-developed rice flour. The flour
The PSD patterns showed two peaks containing
cells and free starch fractions, in which the starch fraction peak intensity increased as a particle size
decreased. While damaged starch, water binding capacity, solubility and lightness increased, crude
protein and yellowness decreased as a particle size decreased. The final and setback viscosities increased
as a particle size decreased. The specific volume of cupcakes was the highest in the cupcakes made with
rice flour passed through under 95 mm
