Rice noodles were produced in the laboratory for precise con-trol. The water was added to the mixtures to give the mixedflour
slurry at the same specific gravity (1.15 Baume). The same amount
of slurry was poured into the nonstick trays to give thefinal rice
sheet thickness at approximately 1 mm. The slurrywas steamed for
10 min in the steamer at 95
C to obtain cooked rice sheets. The
cooked rice sheets were tempered at room temperature for 3 h
before being cut to 7 mm width and dried at 50
C until thefinal
moisture content was about 10e13 g/100 g dry basis. The samples
were analysed for both in-vitro and in-vivo starch digestion assays
and textural properties.
