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.

  • RICE and GRAINS

    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.

    Growth and Micronutrient Needs of Adolescents

    European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000) 54, Suppl 1, S11±S15 ß 2000 Macmillan Publishers Ltd All rights reserved 0954±3007/00 $15.00 www.nature.com/ejcn Growth and micronutrient needs of adolescents B Olmedilla* and F Granado Servicio de NutricioÂn, Unidad de Vitaminas, ClõÂnica Puerta de Hierro, 28035-Madrid, Spain Objective: This paper focuses on micronutrients in relation to needs throughout adolescence, a period which involved growth and development that occur through a complex interaction of genetic instructions, hormones and environmental in¯uences, many of them of dietary origin. In the context of micronutrient `needs' it is of special importance to differentiate between the `nutritional needs' and `metabolic needs'. Two main questions arise in relation to the micronutrient needs: (1) why are micronutrients necessary? and (2) how are their needs assessed? Results: The `necessary' amount will differ according to the objectives pursued: (a) to achieve a satisfactory rate of growth and development; and (b) to maintain `optimal health'. The assesment of micronutrient needs and status has proved to be dif®cult, but when elucidating and establishing them, it is imperative to arrive at the estimates in the light of their interdependent role in metabolism and functions. The knowledge of micronutrient metabolic needs can be approached through epidemiological observations, bioavailability studies and clinical trials. However, there is a nearly total absence of reports on the particular metabolic and dietary needs of adolescents. Conclusion: Thus more studies are required in relation to the effect of features associated with adolescence on `needs', evaluating their impact on bioavailablility and turnover (storage and losses), and the interactions among micronutrients in the assessment of metabolic and nutritional needs.
  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients

    Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients

    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

This study aimed to compare the glycaemic potency of hot- and cold-stored parboiled rice to widely available medium-grain white rice. Method: Twenty-eight healthy volunteers participated in a three-treatment experiment where postprandial blood glucose was measured over 120 min after consumption of 140 g of rice. The three rice samples were freshly cooked medium-grain white rice, freshly cooked parboiled rice, and parboiled rice stored overnight at 4 ◦C.
