BACKGROUND A few elements of soil are radioactive. Soil can transfer radionuclide into plants feeding human. Sometimes their levels are as high as to be concern of human healthy. Rice has an important share for Iranian foods especially in north of Iran. Therefore we decided to obtain radionuclides concentration emitting γ rays in Lahijan City (Northern Iran) rice fields using γ spectroscopy. ...

The magnitude of rice grain losses during storage is huge and warrants critical attention. We investigated the diversity fungi insect contamination related to domestic imported from local mills markets, stored under room conditions for 10 weeks in Cameroon. highest percentage discolored was on milled white (3.5%), after storage. In general, samples contained fungal load with a proportion 65.90%...

High temperature effects attributable to climate change can affect rice quality. The chalky area of grains is often used evaluate grain starch quality, but the overall effect high temperatures on chalkiness and nutrient quality has not been fully clarified. Thus, in this study, we assessed weight, chalkiness, contents. Rice were classified into four groups basis scanned images: P (0%), S (0–15%...

in this study, the effect of the speed of the mill-rotor during the whitening process was evaluated for the milling properties of two varieties of rice in fars province. a split plot design with five replications and the duncan test were used for statistical analysis. two varieties of paddy rice, amol-3 and kamfiruzi, and five mill-rotor speeds, 550, 600, 650, 700 and 750 rpm, were selected as ...

<p>Rice (<em>Oryza sativa </em>L.) is the most important and strategic food crop in Indonesia, but low productivity tidal paddy fields a serious problem that must be overcome. The application of ameliorant would worthy to increase growth yield rice fields. study aimed investigate effect on varieties was arranged split plot design with five replications. Rice tested were Inpari...
