The effect of particle size on the cooking behaviour of rice (Oryzae sativa, sub sp. Indica kato) flour was studied with the Brabender Viscoamylograph. Among the flours of different average particle sizes (307, 214, 165, 138, 114, 90 and 71 μ) studied, flours of 138 and 165 μ showed high breakdown ratios of 0.984 and 0.866 and set back ratios of 2.333 and 2.143, respectively. Comparatively, for vermicelli making, the flours of 138 and 165 μ yielded a product with better scores for textural profile, highlighting the importance of particle size of flours in the preparation of rice based vermicelli.
