. The variation in
chain-length distribution in amylopectin might also account for the
evident increase of DH1, because more energy was needed to
dissociate longer chains (Klein et al., 2013; Qazi et al., 2011). These
changes in gelatinization properties directly affected the cooking
quality, as lower Tp and higher DH1 meant shorter cooking time
and higher energy assumption respectively (Kaur, Singh, & Singh,
2005). Therefore, addition of 5 g/100 g MS into RF might improve
the cooking quality of rice noodles.
