The cooking
behavior of milled rice pasta suggests that extrusion at high
temperature created a new macromolecular structure that was
more hydrophilic, and therefore, more suited to absorb a higher
amount of water (75.9%). At the same time, the conditions applied
during extrusion-cooking created a more continuous and less
soluble structure, accounting for the low cooking loss (4.2%) and for
improved texture of the cooked product
