Abstract
Stress relaxation tests at high strain were conducted on scoops of cooked white, brown, and germinated brown Thai jasmine rice using a King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang test rig. The diameter of the scoop was 35 mm and the height was 10 mm. Non-linear modeling, consisting of four relaxation models, was applied to the data obtained for each type of rice. The modeling methods included Peleg and Normand’s; Yadav, Roopa, and Bhattacharya’s; Jaya and Durance’s; and Myhan, Markowski, and Daszkiewicz’s. The cooked white rice showed greater tenderness compared to the others. The toughness of the three types of cooked rice was not found to be different. The Myhan et al. model was the most accurate in describing the non-linear viscoelastic behavior of all types of cooked rice. The cooked brown rice showed the highest initial decay rate, but the lowest relaxation, lowest elasticity, and greatest viscosity. In contrast, the cooked white rice had opposite characteristics.
