उत्तर
The two changes that rice undergoes during cooking are:
- Rice's starch molecules become gelatinized due to heat and moisture during cooking. Gelatinization is the process of starch granules absorbing water, swelling, and eventually bursting to release amylose and amylopectin molecules.
- Rice absorbs water when cooking, resulting in swollen and squishy grains. The absorption process is essential for producing the correct texture in cooked rice.
