Evaluation of physicochemical properties of plasma treated brown rice

摘要: Abstract A novel processing technology is developed to modify brown rice in a more selective way with the help of low-pressure plasma. The microstructure surface and cooking, textural iodine-staining properties plasma treated are determined. treatment results an etching surface, which allows water be easily absorbed by kernel during soaking. After treatment, cooking time reduced, cooked has soft texture easier chew. In addition, increment iodine-stained area indicates that structure substantially affected Thus, can used improve quality rice.
