Abstract
This study explored the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy and multivariate analysis to enhance the understanding of the physicochemical composition of rice, aiming to develop more accurate and efficient chemometric methods for evaluating grain quality. The experiment was conducted in two stages: (i) individual characterization of defects and healthy grains and (ii) analysis of classified samples (Types 1 to 5 and Off-type) through visual analysis of defects, determination of centesimal composition, Pearson correlation analysis and principal component analysis. The results revealed that, for white rice, Type 1 exhibited higher starch content and lower moisture content, which contributed to a more favorable texture after cooking. In parboiled rice, Type 1 stood out for its balanced nutritional composition, with high starch content and uniform nutrient retention, an effect attributed to the parboiling process. Near-infrared spectroscopy, coupled with multivariate analysis, proved to be a rapid and effective method for assessing rice quality, offering insights into correlations between physicochemical parameters that traditional methods cannot capture.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
