Abstract
This study investigated the effects of starch addition and type on the characteristics of extruded products of floury rice powder (FRP). Native starches from waxy, normal, and high-amylose corn, wheat, tapioca, and potatoes were used. Each starch replaced 30% of the dry weight of FRP. FRP and FRP-starch mixtures were extruded using a twin screw extruder at 19–20% moisture content, 18 Hz screw speed, and barrel temperature of 160℃, followed by drying at 80℃ for 3 h. The water absorption and water solubility indices of the FRP-starch mixtures were higher than those of starch alone, whereas swelling power exhibited the opposite trend. The gelatinization temperatures of the FRP-starch mixtures, except for the FRP-wheat starch mixture, shifted to higher temperatures than those of FRP, whereas their gelatinization enthalpies were lower. The pasting viscosities of the FRP-starch mixtures, except for the FRP-high-amylose cornstarch mixture, were higher than those of FRP. Regarding the extruded products, partial replacement of FRP with starch improved the expansion ratio and specific volume of the extrudates. The failure strength, measured using a 3-point bending test, was higher for the FRP-starch mixture (except for high-amylose corn and tapioca starches) than for FRP.
