Rheological Properties Of Rice Pasta Dough Supplemented With Proteins And Gums

摘要

Rheological properties of rice pasta dough were studied by creep-recovery tests for various formulations containing guar gum (0.5%), casein (1%), and egg white (1%) mixtures. Non-gelatinized rice semolina (RS) was also mixed with gelatinized RS in different ratios (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) for each formulation. The effects of gelatinization, gum and proteins on pasta dough rheology were determined by a control stress rheometer (Haake Rheostress 1). From the creep-recovery data it was obvious that as the amount of gelatinized fraction increased there was an increase in the elasticity of the samples. However, the samples that were produced with 75 and 100% gelatinized RS in the formulation were not smooth in texture, but lumpy. From the creep-recovery and dynamic oscillation measurements it was found that guar gum and protein mixture can be used as a stabilizer together with 50% pre-gelatinized rice semolina. This will result in an improvement in dough properties during gluten free pasta processing from rice.
