Abstract
Pakistan is an agriculture country which has large variety of crops grown. Rice is one of the very important crops of Pakistan which plays pivotal role in countries economy. In this study, physiochemical characteristics of two aromatic and two non-aromatic commercial rice varieties of Pakistan were studied. Super Basmati showed highest value for kernel length and thickness while IR-6 showed lowest values for both trait 6.6mm and 3.170mm respectively. IR-6 revealed maximum kernel breath while Basmati 385 disclosed lowest in value. The gel consistency, an indicator of texture softness, was significantly higher for the both Basmati rice as compared to non-Basmati rice varieties. The alkali spreading value for Basmati rice varieties was low and high for the non-Basmati varieties Highe amylose content was observed in IR 6 rice variety.
