Description There are limited data available on the rheological properties of gel obtained from rice flour dispersions; such information would be useful in developing rice based gels, porridges and spreads. Viscoelasticity of rice gels was investigated. Rice flour dispersions with 15-25% solids contents were heated in a microwave oven for 0-75 s and samples were subjected to oscillatory frequency sweep between 0.01 and 10 Hz. The initial rapid increase in storage modulus (G') with frequency decreased to a plateau at higher frequencies. An increase in G' and complex viscosity with an increase in the time of treatment or concn. of solids indicated the extent of sol-gel transformation. Sensory data on hardness, elasticity and stickiness followed a similar trend. Principal component analysis of sensory results indicated that a min. treatment time of 45 s is needed to achieve a rice gel with acceptable sensory properties. The G' values were modelled (0.936 <less than or equal to> r <less than or equal to> 0.988, P <less than or equal to> 0.01) by the 4-element spring-dashpot model.
