s | 69 analysis with structural equation modeling was performed for correlation between Japanese diet and health. As the result of the trend test, intake of rice and miso (fermented soybean paste) was correlated with sleep quality (trend p=0.006 and 0.003, respectively) and rice consumption is also correlated with impulsiveness (trend p=0.007). Fish consumption was correlated with impulsiveness...

Rice milling plays a key factor in determining rice quality and value. Therefore accurate quality assessments are critical to the rice industry. This study was undertaken to assess the effect of exposing rice to elevated temperatures during milling, on cooked rice texture and rice flour pasting properties. Two long (Cybonnett and Francis) and one medium (Jupiter) rice (oryzae sativa L.) cultiva...

The influence of drying temperature on rice taste quality was studied in this paper. The heated-air temperature of 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, and 60°C, respectively, were used to dry fresh paddy. The critical drying temperature of 45°C for paddy rice with an initial moisture content of 21.36% w.b. was obtained, which induce the rice taste value declining significantly. Also, the amorphous starch m...

(i) The quality of the rice, as judged by the fineness of the grain. (ii) The process through which the rice grain has passed in its removal from the paddy. (in) The digestibility of the rice?from seasoning. (iv) Its vitamine content. With regard to quality, the best rice is transplanted rice, reaped during the winter months?the avian crop. Grain of the aus crop is coarse and not of good qualit...

Since the establishment of the USDA-ARS Rice Quality Laboratory in the 1950s, we have committed to provide service to the Federal and State breeding programs by evaluating U.S. breeding lines to ensure that all future U.S. varieties have quality traits acceptable to the rice industry. In addition, we have been conducting research to better understand cooking and processing traits of importance ...

the rotor of enegelberg whitener was equipped with a screw conveyor to reduce broken rice percentage. according to preliminary experiments this modification could reduce broken rice percentage about 2.5%. further experiment was performed to determine the effect of rotor speeds and blade positions on white rice quality. to do this, five rotor speeds, consisting 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 r.p.m a...

The annual subsidy for the Universal PDS in Tamil Nadu was around 5,000crore, and adding that there was a strong administrative monitoring, vigilance and grievance redresses mechanism operating in the state in respect of UPDS. But the quality of rice distributed through the universal pubic distribution system under the free of cost as on 01 June 2011 scheme was of poor quality and unfit for con...

Molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) is currently being employed in two areas of rice breeding at the University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) in Stuttgart. Presently the objective of the program is to accelerate the development of rice cultivars with improved cooking quality and rice blast disease resistance using two well-characterized molecular markers. A co-domi...
