Abstract
Rheological, thermal and structural changes in high pressure (HP) treated Basmati rice flour dispersions were studied as function of
pressure level (350–650 MPa), slurry concentration (with 1:5, 1:3 and 1:2 flour-to-water ratios) and holding time (7.5–15 min). Rice flour
dispersions exhibited a gradual liquid–solid gel transformation as they gelatinized and/or denatured and behaved as viscoelastic fluid
following HP treatment. Mechanical strength (G0 ) of pressurized gel increased with applied pressure and rice concentration. Differential
scanning calorimeter (DSC) thermograms of rice slurry measured after pressure treatment indicated a reduction in peak enthalpy in
proportion with the extent of gelatinization and/or denaturation of starch and proteins. Pressure-treated rice samples had a progressively
lower gelatinization temperature. A 15 min pressure treatment at 550 MPa was found sufficient to complete gelatinization of protein free
isolated rice starch while the slurry required 650 MPa. The presence of proteins might have been responsible for the slower starch
gelatinization in the rice slurry during pressure treatment. The sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)
and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results indicated some minor changes in protein subunits and secondary structure
of rice protein. This study has provided complementary information on pressure-induced changes in physical (thermal stability, overall
structure) and molecular level (secondary structure) of rice protein.
