In this study, the heat-moisture treatment was used to improve the quality of the old rice, and the variation of quality indexes under different heat-moisture treatment conditions was studied. The results showed that the heat-moisture treatment had significant effects on the appearance, microstructure, cooking, sensory evaluation, texture and gelatinization properties of the old rice. The rice whiteness, solids loss, palatability, taste, overall score, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, trough viscosity, final viscosity, setback and pasting tem...
