Abstract
Rough Rice (cv. Cypress) from the 2000 season was harvested, dried, and stored in farm scale bins. The effects of bin sample position, bin sample depth (spatial), aeration treatment, and storage duration were investigated for their impact on rice quality factors: moisture content, head rice yield, pasting properties, and cooking properties. Moisture content and head rice yield were affected by bin sample position (p<0.05). Rice sampled from the center of the bins demonstrated significantly lower head rice yield and lower moisture contents. Trends throughout the storage duration of the physicochemical properties of the rice treated with controlled aeration were consistent with the trends of the rice treated with manual aeration. Storage duration significantly influenced (p<0.05) cooking properties, final viscosity, head rice yield (HRY), and moisture content. The cooking properties, final viscosity, and head rice yield all demonstrated a general increase over the storage duration, in contrast, the moisture content of the grain decreased over the storage period.
