Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: A set of 14 rice varieties were grown at the Rice Experiment Station (RES) in2000 and analyzed under a battery of physicochemical tests. The tests, indicators of cooking and processing characteristics, were conducted by the Rice End-Use Quality Research Laboratory at the USDA-ARS-Rice Research Unit (Beaumont, TX), RES, and Department of Food Science and Technology, UC Davis. Data collected include grain length and width, apparent amylose content, protein content, alkali spreading value, cooking time, gelatinization temperature, RVA profiles, and Controlled Stress Rheometer profiles. Aroma and grain elongation were also measured for some varieties. Results, including photos and data, were compiled in single page summaries for each variety. This project was supported by the Technology Committee of the California Rice Commission. The committee is planning to publish the results and continue the project in 2002.
