Assessment of Physicochemical Properties and Cooking Quality of Promising Rice Varieties

Abstract

The study was carried out in AC and RI, killikulam, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Tamil Nadu, India during Kharif 2017 to evaluate physiochemical and cooking properties of promising high yielding rice varieties of Tamil Nadu. Different physiochemical properties were studied in Fifty-five rice varieties. The hulling percentage varied from IR 28 (88.85) to CO 39(62.5), milling percentage ranged between IR 28(79.6) to C0 39(59.35), HRR% varied from IR 28 (73.3) to CO 43 (42.5), grain length is highest in Pusa Basmati (8.85 mm) and lowest in short grain type TN 1 (4.05 mm), The grain breadth ranged between 1.5 mm (JGL 3855) – 2.4 mm (ASD 2). L/B ratio, varied from 5.72 (Pusa Basmati) to 1.84 (TN 1), grain length after cooking ranged from Pusa Basmati (14.7mm) to BRNS (WP) 5 (5.35mm). Whereas the highest grain breadth after cooking was observed in ASD 2 (4.75 mm) and the lowest observed in Pusa Basmati (2.05 mm), linear elongation ratio is ranged from 1.67 (Pusa Basmati) to 1.04 (TPS 3), breadth wise expansion ratio was varied from TPS 3(2.49) to Pusa Basmati (1.33), ASV recorded 4 , 7, 27,11 and 7 varieties for scale-2, scale-3,scale-4, scale-5, scale-6 respectively. gel consistency ranged from 99.55 mm (JGL 3855) to 55.5 mm (Swarna) and the amylose content varied from 39.45 (Abhya) to 13.55(ASD 17). The relationship between physicochemical and cooking properties was determined using Pearson’s correlation. Correlation was done for determining the nature of interaction among the characters.

Diversity and Multi-variate Analysis of Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice Genotypes over Two Seasons using Organo-leptic Traits

“…L/B ratio and KLAC were interdependent as evidenced by the strong positive association between them (r = 0.670).KL, KLAC, L/B ratio and LER are strongly in positive association implying the fact that selection of either of the traits would ultimately enhance the mean performance of the interdependent trait, while this pose a great logic in the resulted negative association of these traits with the KB, KBAC and BER as bold grains lower the L/B ratio and the length metrics of both the cooked and the uncooked grains [27,29,33,35,[42][43][44].…”
