Abstract:

The effects of β-cyclodextrin, sucrose fatty acid ester, citric acid and α-amylase on the final qualities of α-based instant rice were investigated. Results indicated that β-cyclodextrin, sucrose ester of fatty acid and citric acid were suitable food additives for the production of instant rice. The optimal formula of composite food additives for producing instant rice was 0.2% β-cyclodextrin, 0.2% sucrose fatty acid ester and 0.4% citric acid. The hardness of instant rice decreased from 1490.152 to 1128.125 g and the adhesiveness increased from - 1.515 g·s to - 20.336 g·s.

Key words: instant rice, texture, food additive
