  • Codex Standard for Rice
    1 Codex Standard 198-1995 CODEX STANDARD FOR RICE CODEX STAN 198-1995 1. SCOPE This standard applies to husked rice, milled rice, and parboiled rice, all for direct human consumption; i.e., ready for its intended use as human food, presented in packaged form or sold loose from the package directly to the consumer. It does not apply to other products derived from rice or to glutinous rice. 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 Definitions 2.1.1 Rice is whole and broken kernels obtained from the species Oryza sativa L. 2.1.1.1 Paddy rice is rice which has retained its husk after threshing. 2.1.1.2 Husked rice (brown rice or cargo rice) is paddy rice from which the husk only has been removed. The process of husking and handling may result in some loss of bran. 2.1.1.3 Milled rice (white rice) is husked rice from which all or part of the bran and germ have been removed by milling. 2.1.1.4 Parboiled rice may be husked or milled rice processed from paddy or husked rice that has been soaked in water and subjected to a heat treatment so that the starch is fully gelatinized, followed by a drying process. 2.1.1.5 Glutinous rice; waxy rice: Kernels of special varieties of rice which have a white and opaque appearance. The starch of glutinous rice consists almost entirely of amylopectin. It has a tendency to stick together after cooking. 3.

  • Labelling of Origin-2018.06.04-P.Carrà
    The Italian rice is not a commodity Paolo Carrà Chairman of the Board of Directors Ente Nazionale Risi Brussels, 4 June 2018 Ente Nazionale Risi is a public Agency supervised by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture which aims to protect the national rice production. Italy is the first rice producer in the EU Italy 52.20% Spain 25.80% Portugal 6.97% Greece 5.49% France 4.66% Romania 2.44% Bulgaria 1.78% Hungary 0.66% The Italian rice production represents 0.2% of the world rice production The names of some rice varieties grown in Italy (e.g. Carnaroli, Arborio, Vialone nano) are as important as trademarks. The rice grown in EU has been recognized by the European Commission as a public good from the environmental point of view. The rice grown in EU is sustainable from the environmental point of view and it is healthy for consumers. The rice imported into the EU is not always healthy and environmentally friendly. Sometimes the Basmati rice imported into the EU contains the fungicide Carbendazim which is banned in EU. During 2006 traces of a variety of unapproved GM rice were found in imports into EU from USA. In Italy there is the collective brand «Riso Italiano» managed by Ente Nazionale Risi. This brand guarantees the origin, nature and quality of the rice sold by Italian operators. The brand «Riso Italiano» was a good answer to the issue of unapproved GM rice imported from USA. The European rice, in particular the Italian rice, is different from rice grown in the rest of the world because it is not a commodity.

  • Prodwrkshp 3.Qxd
    California Rice Production Workshop, v15 Variety Selection and Management Introduction and History Since its beginning in 1912, California’s rice industry limited its produc - tion and marketing largely to a few short and medium grain japonica varieties, developed from stocks originating in Japan and China. These varieties produced good yields of quality rice in the dry, temperate cli - mate of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. For the grower, the choice of variety to plant was relatively simple because the few varieties available were similar in performance, yield potential and milling qual - ity when properly managed. Included were Colusa, Caloro and Calrose released in 1918, 1921 and 1948, respectively, and Earlirose, a productive, early maturing, proprietary variety, released in 1965 which soon became a popular variety for cold areas and/or late plantings. These were the major rice varieties grown in California until the early 1970’s. Then, the variety picture began to change significantly. A powerful impetus for this was the enactment of California Rice Research Marketing Order that established the California Rice Research Board in 1969. This grower initiative provided significant and regular funding to hasten development and release of new varieties. The medium grain variety CS-M3 was released in 1970 and the short grain variety CS-S4 in 1971, from rice hybridizations made in 1946 and 1957 at the Rice Experiment Station (RES) at Biggs, CA. CS-M3 gained wide acceptance and competed with the older Calrose for acreage. But, CS-S4, though an improvement over Caloro, was not widely grown because of its suscep - Publicly devel - tibility to low temperature induced sterility.

  • RICE and GRAINS
    RICE and GRAINS RICE is one of the most important foods in the world, supplying as much as half of the daily calories for half of the world’s population. Scientific name: Oryza sativa Categories: short grain, medium grain or long grain o Short grain – has the highest starch content, males the stickiest rice. o Long grain – lighter and tends to remain separate when cooked. Another way that rice is classified is according to the degree of milling that it undergoes. This is what makes a BROWN RICE different than white rice. BROWN RICE – often referred to as whole rice or cargo rice, is the whole grain with only its inedible outer hull removed. Brown rice still retains its nutrient-rich bran and germ. WHITE RICE – is both milled and polished, which removes the bran and germ along with all the nutrients that reside within these important layers. SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR VARIETIES OF RICE IN THIS COUNTRY INLCUDE: ARBORIO – a round grain, starchy white rice, traditionally used to make the Italian dish risotto. BASMATI – an aromatic rice that has a nutlike fragrance, delicate flavor and light texture. SWEET RICE – almost translucent when it is cooked, this very sticky rice is traditionally used to make sushi and mochi. JASMINE – a soft-textured long grain aromatic rice that is available in both brown and white varieties. BHUTANESE RED RICE – grown in the Himalayas, this red colored rice has a nutty, earthy taste. FORBIDDEN RICE – a black colored rice that turns purple upon cooking and has a sweet taste and sticky texture.

The main compounds in black rice were anthocyanins (3.5 mg/g), with cyanidin 3-O- glucoside and peonidin 3-O-glucoside predominating, followed by flavones and flavonols (0.5 mg/g) and flavan-3-ols (0.3 mg/g), which comprised monomeric and oligomeric constituents. Significant quantities of γ-oryzanols, including 24-methylenecy- cloartenol, campesterol, cycloartenol, and β-sitosterol ferulates, were also detected along with lower levels of carotenoids (6.5 μg/ g). Red rice was characterized by a high amount of oligomeric procyanidins (0.2 mg/g), which accounted >60% of secondary metabolite content with carotenoids and γ-oryzanol comprising 26.7%, whereas flavones, flavonols and anthocyanins were <9%. Brown and white rice contained lower quantities of phytochemicals, in the form of flavones/flavonols (21−24 μg/g) and γ- oryzanol (12.3−8.2 μg/g), together with trace levels of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Neither anthocyanins nor procyanidins were detected in brown and white rice.

  • Mechanizing the Conditioning Process of Rice Before Puffing
    Oryza Vol. 48 No. 2, 2011 (114-118) Mechanizing the conditioning process of rice before puffing Minati Mohapatra* and S. K. Das Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur ABSTRACT The conditioning process involving slow and uniform heating of salt soaked high moisture parboiled rice coupled with turning or agitation before puffing is the most critical factor for obtaining good quality of puffed rice. A mechanized set-up has been developed to produce pre-conditioned rice for puffing with 0.0, 2.5, 3.5 and 5.0% salt (w/w). Pre-conditioning process irrespective of the salt contents continued for about a time period of 90 minutes (except for no salt condition taking about 80 minutes) till the final hardness of the grain was achieved between 44-47N. The final moisture content of the pre-conditioned grain was achieved as 10-10.30 % (wb). Percentage puffing and expansion ratio of machine pre-conditioned rice were observed as 97.8±1.26 %, 6.3±0.28 and 92.2±0.69 %, 6.4±0.22 respectively for microwave puffing and traditional puffing. Therefore, the developed machine is able to produce well conditioned rice for producing quality puffed rice.

Rice is the major staple foods consumed in Asia. It has been reported that rice consumption has a positive association with the risk of chronic diseases. The effects of rice variety and preparation process on chemical characteristics of rice were investigated in the current study. Three Thai rice varieties, Khao Dok Mali 105 (KDML 105), Sao Hai (SH) and Riceberry (RB), underwent parboiling or non-parboiling as well as polishing or non- polishing prior to chemical property analysis. It was found that parboiling process possessed greater content of mineral as indicated by ash content as well as fiber and total phenolic content (TPC) and 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity when compared to non-parboiling treatments, whereas the reduction in amylose and TAC content, GI value and starch digestibility were observed in this sample. On the other hand, polishing process led to reduction in ash, amylose, fiber, TPC and TAC content and DPPH values.
