Abstract:[[Objective ]] This study aimed to investigate the effect of brown rice particle size on the quality of brown rice noodles. [[Methods ]] Brown rice flours with average particle sizes (D[4,3]) of 370,86,62,47,and 30 μm were prepared using low -temperature impact milling.Noodles were made from each flour,and their starch short -range ordered structure,crystalline structure,cooking quality,and texture properties were analyzed. [[Results ]] Both the short -range order and relative crystallinity of starch in brown rice noodles first increased and then decreased with decreasing particle size.Hardness and chewiness also followed this trend.Noodles prepared from flour with a moderate particle size (D[4,3] of 86 μm) showed the highest starch order,crystallinity,hardness and chewiness,indicating optimal quality. [[Conclusion ]] Moderate milling produces brown rice flour with an ordered structure,enhancing the hardness,chewiness and overall quality of brown rice noodles.
