starches in composites with poor quality rice flour to produce noodles of acceptable quality.
Different types of rice noodles exhibit different eating qualities,
and hence require different treatment conditions. In this study,
response surface methodology (RSM) was designed to optimize the hydrothermal treatment conditions for fresh, semi-dried and dried rice noodles in order to improve their qualities and reduce the use of additives.
Pasting, rheological and textural properties of rice flour gel were studied and compared to those of commercial rice noodle
flours in order to match different rice noodle qualities.
