The new method has three important characteristics
e increased water absorption of rice flour during dough
making, similar particle size distributions as wheat flour, and a

protein matrix holding starch granules to separate and free
released starch granules (Kumar, Malleshi, & Bhattacharya, 2008;
Sharma, Chakkaravarthi, Singh, & Subramanian, 2008).
