Effects of differential protein removal on the properties of early indica rice flour by CAO Yijun, FENG Wei, WANG Ren, ZHANG Hao, WANG Tao

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of the effect of deproteinisation on the physicochemical and functional properties of rice flour.MethodsEnzymatic and alkaline methods were used to remove protein from early rice flour, and the damaged starch content, size distribution, morphology, solubility, swelling power, pasting characteristics and textural characteristics of the deproteinized rice flour were analyzed.ResultsSodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) showed that the alkaline method equally removed the protein subunit where as the enzymatic method showed a better homogeneity of protein removal from the surface of starch.The size distribution of the control showed a majorpeak at ca.70 μm and it shifted to 6μmafter protein removal. …”
