| This study aimed to obtain better texture of brown rice from San-pah-tawng 1 (SPT 1; amylose content=6.06%) by using a pre-germination and parboiled processes. Paddy was soaked in water at 30 °C for 8 h, and then incubated at 30 °C with 85% humidity until embryonic growth length was0.5-1.0 mm and 60-70% germination. Pre-germination time of SPT 1 was 36 h. Parboiled and unparboiled from pre-germinated paddy were dried and dehusked to obtain parboiled pre-germinated brown rice (PPGBR) and pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR). Chemical properties of PPGBR and PGBR flours from SPT 1 showed significantly (p LT = 0.05) higher content of reducing sugars (416.14-422.07 mg/100g), protein (8.09-8.13), fat (4.06-4.37%), and total phenolic compounds (43.87-106.45 mg... |
