Variation of Rice Quality of Milled Rice according to Storage Period

This study investigated the effects of storage period on the quality-realted characteristics of milled rice. Milled rice of two rice varieties (Nampyeongbyeo, Dongjinbyeo) produced in different years (2005, 2006 and 2009) were used for experiment. The toyo meter value of both rice varieties was decreased with extended storage period. But fat acidity of both rice groups was increased with extended storage period. When the samples were compared by production year, the hardness of the rice produced in 2009 was higher than those produced in 2005 and 2006. As storage period was prolonged, the L, a, and b values of chromaticity were increased and there was decreased preference in palatability of cooked rice. So, as storage period was longer, rice quality and eating quality deteriorated seriously.
