Xie et al. (2008) showed a higher PT range for non-waxy rice flours than for waxy rice flours. However, no significant correlation of PT with the protein content and any pasting parameter, except BDR (r = 0.300, p < 0.05), was found.
Protein hydration and disulphide formation has been reported to enhance the RVA paste rigidity
(Martin & Fitzgerald, 2002).
