Chewiness, slipperiness, and rapid rehydration are satisfactory qualities for rice noodles. These qualities are dependent on rice starch structure. However, the synergistic effect of fine structure of amylose (AM) and amylopectin (AP) on rice noodle quality remains unclear. In this work, six rice varieties, three from early indica and three from late indica, with similar amylose content for each pair were analyzed to assess the synergistic effects between AM and AP fine structures. The results showed that the combination of amylose long-chains and a low amylopectin unit-chain (APC) ratio favored the maintenance of relatively intact starch granules, resulting in a higher die expansion ratio and improvement of the mechanical properties of rice noodles (Hardness varied from 403 g to 1627 g). Meanwhile, higher die expansion was associated with a larger rehydration ratio. These results suggest that the synergistic effect between AM and AP fine structures significantly affects rice noodles' quality.
