| This study investigated the effect of rice aging on the textural and retrogradation properties of frozen cooked rice. Milled rice cultivar Khoa Dawk Mali 105 which aged for three different time periods, ranging from 0-12 months were used in this study. The frozen cooked rice was freeze-thawed up to 5 cycles. For the textural properties, the fresh cooked rice from rice aged for 12 months had higher in hardness and lower in stickiness than rice aged for 3 months and 0.7 months, respectively. In addition, the freeze-thaw cooked rice had a tendency to increase hardness and decrease stickiness with subsequent freeze-thaw cycles. After repeated freeze-thaw cycles, an mylopectin retrogradation enthalpy increased with progressive aging time and a number of... |
