ABSTRACT
Nowadays, an increasing number of people worldwide use induction heating cookers to cook rice for consumption. This work reveals the influence of induction heating cooker heating modes on the quality attributes of cooked rice. Three heating modes, including bottom coil heating mode (mode 1), corner coil heating mode (mode 2), and side coil heating (mode 3), were used. Among the three modes, mode 2 allowed for an intermediate heating rate during rice cooking. For mode 2, the minimized temperature difference between the upper layer (including the central upper layer and peripheral upper layer) and the lower layer (including the central lower layer and peripheral lower layer) can reduce the effect of water absorption time difference on rice quality. Consequently, the rice cooked using mode 2 exhibited improved matrix uniformity, as indicated by the similar moisture content (59.92-61.89%), hardness (15.87-18.24 N), and water mobility (the relaxation time and peak area of the third relaxation peak) of rice samples at four different positions in the pot. The rice cooked by mode 2 showed better texture appearance and a more uniform porous microstructure. Consistently, the cooked rice samples by mode 2 at different positions did not show substantial differences in their starch digestion features.
