The pasting characteristics of rice flour with different particle
sizes are shown in Table 2. Halick and Kelly (1959) noted that
particle size greatly influenced the pasting characteristics of rice
flour. The initial pasting temperature of HP-80 was 70.40 C and
increased as the particle size decreased. Although peak, trough and
breakdown viscosities differed significantly with particle sizes
(p < 0.05), significant trends were not found. However, final and
setback viscosities were significantly different and increased as the
particle size decreased.
