Abstract

Suitable 'wet heat' treatment of freshly harvested paddy or an incipient parboiling of the rice just prior to cooking reduces the pastiness, on cooking, of rice. Such heat treatment can be used for curing paddy or rice to enable its use immediately after harvest. The viscosity of the gruel obtained by cooking under standard conditions or the content of alcohol precipitable solids in the gruei can be used for curing the cooking quality of rice samples.
