To understand the suitability of protein‐hydrocolloid complexes as replacement for wheat protein in rice crackers, and the effect of protein source, carboxylmethylcellulose ( CMC ) and hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose ( HPMC ) at 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% w/w, and 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% w/w of xanthan gum (XN) were added to flour‐blendedrice crackers ( FF ). A variety of protein isolates was added to 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10% w/w combinations of protein isolates and hydrocolloids were investigated. The controls were FF , 100% rice crackers ( RF ), and wheat crackers ( WF ). About 1.5% CMC samples had the closest hardness to WF , followed by 0.5% XN and 1.5% HPMC , and 0.5% XN crackers had the highest moisture content and water activities followed by 0.75% XN , 1.5% CMC , and 1.5% HPMC . Increasing % of hydrocolloids also increased puffiness. Protein isolate crackers had higher moisture content and water activity. Protein isolates improved puffiness. Whey protein improved elasticity, while hydrocolloids added to leguminous protein increased loss tangent.
