Abstract

The brownish discoloration of a commercial sample of rice could not
definitely be attributed to the Maillard reaction. The browning caused a
slight reduction in the solubility of the protein and its growth-promoting
value.
Discoloration could be induced in white polished rice within 48 hours
by incubation of the rice containing 25% moisture. Evidence showed that
the discoloration is microbiological in origin.
