White rice-based foods, which are high in refined carbohydrates, are widely consumed in China. A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between white rice-based food consumption and the risk of ischemic stroke in the southern Chinese population. Information on diet and lifestyle was obtained from 374 incident ischemic stroke patients and 464 hospital-based controls. Log...

1. Cereals : (i) The total quantity of rationed cereals should be as laid down, from time to time, by the rationing authorities. At present, it is 12 ozs. per day per patient. It should preferably be distributed in the proportions indicated against rice, bread, wheat flour, etc. in the different diet scales. (ii) Undermilled rice a ,, wholemeal bread sho be used in. place of nil and/or polished...

The iron and vitamin C content of water spinach and rice samples from three sites in Vietnam were chemically analysed. The iron content of home-milled rice from Nghe An was higher than the iron content of machine-milled rice from Thai Binh and Hanoi. In addition, the iron content of cooked rice was lower than that of uncooked rice as iron was removed during the washing and rinsing of the rice p...

The origin and spread of novel agronomic traits during crop domestication are complex events in plant evolution. Wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) has red grains due to the accumulation of proanthocyanidins, whereas most cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) varieties have white grains induced by a defective allele in the Rc basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) gene. Although the events surrounding the origin and ...

Objectives To summarise evidence on the association between white rice consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes and to quantify the potential dose-response relation. Design Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Data sources Searches of Medline and Embase databases for articles published up to January 2012 using keywords that included both rice intake and diabetes; further searches of refe...

We developed a multilayered screening method that integrates both genome and transcriptome data to effectively identify regulatory genes in rice (Oryza sativa). We tested our method using eight rice accessions that differed in three important nutritional and agricultural traits, anthocyanin biosynthesis, amylose content, and heading date. In the genome resequencing of eight rice accessions with...

Guardeño L.M., Vázquez-Gutiérrez J.L., Hernando I., Quiles A. (2013): Effect of different rice starches, inulin, and soy protein on microstructural, physical, and sensory properties of low-fat, gluten, and lactose free white sauces. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 575–580. The microstructural, physical, and sensory properties of low-fat sauces made with different rice starches, soy protein ,and inulin ...

Persistent racial disparities in antitrafficking the US reflect movement’s reliance on a moral economy of purity and blamelessness that is steeped White supremacy. I deconstruct two key strands this economy: middle-class economic values associated with Protestant ethic, patriarchal, Christian around gender sexuality culture. Both these skew fail to work reliably for Black people. Constructively...

generally the biggest group of people diet every grain of rice cereal group is the second largest member in some regions. however, unlike other grains such as rice, white beans and cooked completely consumed, fastidious taste may vary from one region to another. the overall index of consumer tastes more rice grains in appearance, size and shape, manner of cooking, the aroma, the taste of it mea...

Understanding farmers’ perception is important in the development of sustainable and cost-effective integrated pest management strategies. Hence, farmers’ perception on rice insect pests and pesticide use was evaluated by selected 112 farmers composed of 77% males and 23% females, over the rice growing areas of North Cotabato, Central Mindanao, Philippines. 62% of farmers that were interviewed ...
