| Additional Information: | Textural attributes of puffed rice samples with five different moisture contents ranging from 1.75 to 9.42% were analyzed from force-displacement curve obtained by compression testing at a strain-rate of 0.1mm/s. Using these curves, instrumental textural attributes like average force, peak force, initial slope, number of major and minor fractures,mean absolute deviation, maximum height of the profile and skewness were computed. Sensory parameters like firmness and crispness were also analyzed to show the relationship with instrumental attributes. The decreasing trends of the sensory attributes with an increase in moisture content of the samples were observed. A similar trend was also obtained for instrumental textural attribute like initial slope. A decrease in number of major fractures (1N) with an increase in moisture content can be associated to a decrease in crispness values. This indicates that the mathematical model proposed is adequate and perhaps applicable to other snack foods. |
