The effects of three surfactants (SSL, Dimodan, and SE1670) on the properties of cooked nonwaxy and waxy rice during storage were investigated by sensory evaluation, instrumental test, and measurement of retrogradation degree. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that the overall quality of cooked rice was affected by textural characteristics. The addition of surfactant decreased the roughness and hardness of cooked rice, however, increased the stickiness and moistness during the storage in the order of SE, SSL, and Dimodan. In instron test, the hardness of surfactant-added cooked rice was significant lower than that of control. The addition of surfactant decreased the degree of retrogradation both in cooked nonwaxy and waxy rices.
