Abstract
The development and manufacture of high-quality starch are a new research focus in food science. Here, transglutaminase was used in the wet processing of glutinous rice flour to prepare customized sweet dumplings. Transglutaminase (0.2 %) lowered protein loss in wet processing and reduced the crystallinity and viscosity of glutinous rice flour. Moreover, it lowered the cracking and cooking loss of sweet dumplings after freeze–thaw cycles, and produced sweet dumplings with reduced hardness and viscosity, making them more suitable for people with swallowing difficulties. Additionally, in sweet dumplings with 0.2 % transglutaminase, the encapsulation of starch granules by the protein slowed down the digestion and reduced the final hydrolysis rate, which are beneficial for people with weight and glycemic control issues. In conclusion, this study contributes to the production of tasty, customized sweet dumplings.
