Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of three independent determinations. Different superscripts in a row represent significantly different samples (p < 0.05). WAC: water absorption capacity; OAC: oil absorption capacity; WSI: water solubility index; SP: swelling power; LGC: least gelation concentration; GT: gelatinization temperature; BD: bulk density; EA: emulsion activity; and ES: emulsion stability. Wheat flour was used as the control.
