Physicochemical Properties Associated with Differences in Size of Rice Grains

Abstract

The following study examined different aspects associated with the sorting of different rice harvests. Specifically, we assessed : (1) Various aspects related to the heading of rice, focusing on the differences in grain size when heading is early and grain size is large, to decreased grain size when heading is late. (2) Physicochemical properties and their relationship with the quality and size of grain. (3) The predominance of large grained cereals arising from selective cultivation as a food source. (4) The relationships between the physicochemical properties of rice and grain size by principal component analysis.
