Rice flour from short-grain has been recommended for making
gluten-free bread, but present results show that flour from longgrain
rice is suitable for making gluten-free bread, having similar
characteristics than previously reported GFB made from shortgrain
rice. Likely, discrepancies could be attributed to the wide
use of commercial rice flours instead of using specific rice varieties.
Results obtained with six different long-grain rice varieties
confirmed their suitability for breadmaking performance. Signifi-
cant differences were observed within varieties. Results suggested
that the most important parameters of rice flour when defining
breadmaking performance of GFB would be WBC, SP, SV, Tp, Tc and
enthalpy.
