Effect of Defatting on Gelatinization of Starch and Cooking Properties of Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 30 (J/Indica) Milled Rice

Effects of defatting on the starch gelatinization of Akibare (Japomica) and Milyang 30(J/Indica) rice and on textural properties of cooked rices were investigated. Defatting increased amylographic viscosity greater in Milyang 30 than in Akibare. Hardness of cooked rice was decreased by defatting both in Akibare and Milyang 30. The reduction of hardness, however, was more pronounced for Milyang 30 than for Akibare, by defatting.
