Physicochemical properties of hydroxypropylated and cross-linked (HPCL) rice starch were investigated. Dual modification of rice starch was carried out by hydroxypropylation using propylene oxide (2, 6, and 12%) and then crosslinking using phosphorus oxychloride (0.005% and 0.02%). Swelling power of dual-modified rice starch increased at lower temperature (60$^{\circ}C$) than that of native rice starch (70$^{\circ}C$). HPCL rice starch showed slightly lower solubility (1.6-6.1%) than native rice starch (2.2-13.8%). Solubility and swelling power tended to gradually increase with increasing phosphorus oxychloride contents. RVA pasting temperature (66.2-70.8$^{\circ}C$) and peak viscosity (160.6- 171.1 RVU) of HPCL rice starch were lower than that of those of native starch (71.3$^{\circ}C$, 190.4 RVU) and decreased with increasing propylene oxide concentration. DSC thermal transitions of HPCL rice starches shifted to lower temperature and show less amylopectin melting enthalpy (11.8-9.8 J/g) than that of native rice starch (11.9 J/g). Overall, physicohemical properties of HPCL rice starches were highly dependent on hydroxypropylation rather than crosslinking.

Physicohemical properties of dual-modified rice starches, cross-linked (with $POCl_{3}$) and hydroxypropylated (with propylene oxide) rice starches, were studied. Rice starch was cross-linked using $POCl_{3}$ (0.005%, 0.02% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr and then hydroxypropylated using propylene oxide (2%, 6%, 12% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, respectively. Swelling power, solubility, thermal properties (DSC) and pasting properties (RVA) of cross-linked and hydroxypropylated (CLHP) rice starches were determined. Swelling power of CLHP rice starch increased at relatively lower temperature than native rice starch. Solubility of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native rice starch. Peak viscosity of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native starch while holding strength and final viscosity were increased with modification. Breakdown value was lower and setback value was higher than native rice starch. DSC thermal transitions of CLHP rice starch shifted toward lower temperature. Amylopectin-melting enthalpy of CLHP rice starch decreased, whereas it was not affected by the amount of $POCl_{3}$.
