  • 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.

  • 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 nutritional qualities of rice grains vary based on their nutrient and amino acids content. Indigenous varieties are conserved for a variety of reasons. Farmers have great awareness about the rice varieties they were using and their importance. Some of them are pest and disease resistance (Sigappu Kuruvikar); some of them are suitable for saline soil (Kalarpalai); flood and drought resistance (Samba Mosanam and Vadan Samba) and provide energy and stamina (Mappillai Samba). In order to study the response of these traditional varieties to salinity, a replicated trial was conducted in a completely randomised block design (RBD) with 50 varieties (47 traditional rice varieties and 3 local varieties as check) in the coastal saline areas of Tamil Nadu. In this study, data on biometric, biophysical, growth analysis and yield parameters were recorded and statistical analysis of clustering of genotypes, correlation analysis, multidimensional scale and principal component analysis (PCA) were also done using the statistical tools for agricultural research software with the varieties. The results revealed that the varieties Raja mannar, Pal kudaivazhai, Kuzhiadichan and Raja mudi performed well by recording better observations in biometric, biophysical, growth analysis and yield parameters.

Microwaves have been applied for cooking, warming, and thawing food for many years. Microwave heating differs from conventional heating and may cause variation in the food quality. is study determined the quality of Riceberry rice (Oryza sativa L.) after microwave cooking using various rice-to-water ratios at three power levels (360, 600, and 900 W). e texture of all microwave-cooked samples was in the range 162.35 ± 5.86 to 180.11 ± 7.17 N and was comparable to the conventionally cooked rice (162.03 N). e total phenolic content (TPC) and the antioxidant activity of the microwave-cooked rice were higher than those of the conventional-cooked rice. Microwave cooking appeared to keep the TPC in the range 241.15–246.89 mg GAE/100 g db and the antioxidant activities based on DPPH and ABTS assays in the ranges 134.24–137.15 and 302.80–311.85 mg·TE/100 g db, respectively.
