The Avrami equation (describing the transformation kinetics in crystallization and solid state phase transition) and the hardness of restructured brown rice were investigated by DSC and texture analyzer in the present study. Its retrogradation properties were also explored. The results showed that the exponent n in the Avrami equation was less than 1. The crystallization was based on one-step nucleation. The amylose content significantly affected the Avrami parameter n, while there was no significant difference between maximum retrogradation degree of amylopectin and amylose content. At the sa...
