Hydration behavior and kinetic studies of paddy cultivars: optimization of process variables for improved physical, milling and textural properties.

ABSTRACT: The optimization of hydration temperature and duration were determined in six basmati and non-basmati paddy cultivars varying in grain size, shape, and amylose content based on kinetic parameters and effect of hydration temperature on physical, milling, textural and color attributes. Based on higher R², lower Chi square and RMSE values, Peleg model fitted more suitably compared to Singh and Kulshrestha model. Hydration process significantly altered geometric, gravimetric and mechanical properties as evident by regression analysis. Physical properties except length and L/B ratio positively correlated with increasing hydration temperature. Head rice yield significantly improved in the hydrated treatments and showed a linear increase with the increase in hydration tem
