Rice noodle, widely consumed in Asia and gradually welcomed
in Western countries, is one of the most important and popular
varieties of starch noodles (Hormdok & Noomborm, 2007). Unlike
the wheat-based noodles, rice noodle is free of gluten and its
quality mainly depends on the physicochemical properties of rice
starch, which contributes to the formation of structural network
(Sandhu, Kaur, & Mukesh, 2010). The texture of rice noodles is
closely related to amylose content, solubility, swelling power and
pasting properties of rice starch (Hormdok & Noomborm, 2007).
