Gelatinization properties of germinated brown rice.brown rice and polished rice was studied by DSC. The results showed that To. Tp and Tc of brown rice was highest, To. Tp and Tc of polished rice (16.7% Degree of Milling) was lowest, and To. Tp of germinated brown rice was higher that that of polished rice (16.7% Degree of Milling), while lower than that of polished rice (8.3% Degree of Milling).
