Abstract:In order to improve the edible quality of expanded corn flour, the effects of phosphorylation, enzyme treatment, edible gum dry heat treatment and compound treatment on the preparation performance, water absorption index, water solubility index, dispersion time, agglomeration rate, viscosity, particle size and the chrominance of expanded corn flour were analyzed. The results showed that phosphorylation heat treatment has no significant effect on the viscosity of puffed powder, dry heat treatment of edible glue increases viscosity, enzyme treatment and its combined treatment with phosphorylation and edible glue dry heat significantly reduce the water absorption index and viscosity, and the water solubility index is greater than phosphorylated and edible glue dry heat treatment. The water solubility index of puffed corn meal treated with α-amylase increased from 30.4% to 80.98%, and the water absorption index decreased from 4.96 to 1.21. The agglomeration rates of expanded corn meal treated with xanthan combined with α-amylase and α-amylase combined with sodium orthophosphate were 1.63% and 1.46%, respectively, which were lower than sodium orthophosphate, α-amylase, neutral protease, and dry xanthan gum, which the agglomeration rate of is 5.57%, 5.60%, 6.16%, and 5.58%, respectively, and the viscosity of the two composite treatment methods is 83.33 mPa.s and 100 mPa.s, respectively, which is relatively thin. The dry heat treatment viscosity of sodium orthophosphate and xanthan gum were 2243.33 mPa.s and 306.33 mPa.s, respectively. The viscosity and agglomeration rate of sodium orthophosphate combined with neutral protease treatment were 546.67 mPa.s and 4.89%, respectively, the viscosity is moderate, and the agglomeration rate is lower than that of a single treatment. At this time, the dispersion time and particle size are 4.81 s, 131.14 um, respectively, showing light yellow color. Comprehensive analysis shows that the puffed rice powder are better prepared under the compound treatment of sodium orthophosphate and neutral protease.
