    Nuovo Maratelli, a japonica rice with an intermediate amylose content, is suitable for paella (a traditional Spanish dish) due to its ability to withstand cooking and absorb flavors. In this study, high-pressure processing (HPP) at 400 and 600 MPa (10 min) was used as a pretreatment to improve the properties of rice cooked by either boiling or microwaving. The microstructure and pasting properties of unpressurized and pressurized rice were examined. Also, the cooking time and cooking kinetics were determined for each cooking method. Overall, the pasting properties of the rice were not impacted by the HPP treatments, but the typical polyhedral form of the rice starch granules was lost, especially at 600 MPa. Cooking times were reduced from 14 and 10 min for unpressurized samples to 12 and 8 min (400 MPa) and 8 and 6 min (600 MPa) for boiling- and microwave-cooked rice, respectively. The rice pretreated at 400 MPa (10 min) and microwaved (8 min) had lower hardness and adhesiveness, which was linked to the release of amylose during cooking. In summary, HPP could be an effective pretreatment for the improvement of the cooking and textural properties of Nuovo Maratelli rice, particularly when cooked by microwaving.
