Abstract
Effects of heat moisture treatment (HMT), extrusion treatment (ET), and the combination treatment (HMT-ET) on microstructural, physicochemical properties, and starch digestibility of brown rice flour (BRF) were investigated. With a rise in resistant starch (RS), melting temperature, and a decrease in swelling capacity (SC), peak viscosity, and apparent amylose content (AAC), the HMT-ET BRF showed a significant lower expected glycemic index (eGI) than HMT and ET. XRD and FTIR results showed ET, HMT-ET caused the transition of starch crystals from amorphous to crystalline region, suggesting the formation of the starch-lipid complex. The analysis of DSC and RVA proved HMT-ET flours induced starch gelatinization and inhibited the starch retrogradation of BRF compared with the other three flours. Correlation analysis suggested that the combined effect of HMT and ET was response for the changes in physicochemical properties and reduction of in vitro starch digestibility. Overall, the BRF after HMT-ET with improved physicochemical properties and starch digestibility could be better utilized as a good substitute for carbohydrate sources.
