Crop insurance is a viable solution to reduce the vulnerability of smallholder farmers to risks from pest and disease outbreaks, extreme weather events, and market shocks that threaten their household food and income security. In developing and emerging countries, the implementation of area yield-based insurance, the form of crop insurance preferred by clients and industry, is constrained by th...

Value-added processing with respect to rice milling has traditionally treated the rice bran layer as a homogenous material that contains significant concentrations of high-value components of interest for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Investigators have shown that high-value components in the rice bran layer vary from differences in kernel-thickness, bran fraction, rice variety...

Rice is an important staple food for more than half of the world’s population. Especially in Asian countries, rice is a major contributor to dietary glycaemic load (GL). Sustained consumption of higher-GL diets has been implicated in the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given that a reduction in postprandial glycaemic and insulinaemic responses is generally seen...

Rice is the major staple food in a large part of the world, especially in Asia. Hypersensitivity reactions to rice are rare. Moreover, cases of occupational allergies induced by inhalation of rice powder are uncommon. We report a 31-year-old male with work-related rhinitis and conjunctivitis symptoms caused by occupational exposure to rice powder in the grain industry. He showed positive respon...

present study dealt the removal of cr(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.the experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different ph against the initial cr(vi) concentration of 292 mg/l. the maximum percentage removal of cr(vi) in the tannery indust...

A number of proteins that accumulate in vacuoles and protein bodies undergo posttranslational processing at these accumulation sites. These processing steps include proteolytic cleavage (e.g. pea lectin, soybean glycinin, and rice lectin) and the removal of some sugar residues from oligosaccharide side-chains (e.g. bean phytohemagglutinin). Treatment of immature rice embryos with the sodium ion...

Using a wide range of techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Rapid Visco Analyser and Fourier Transform Infera Red Spectroscopy, some physicochemical properties of the starch fraction of six Iranian rice cultivars (Tarom, Tarome Hashemi, Neda, Ramezani, Fajr and Kamfirouzi) [1]were studied and compared. DSC data showed that starch granules of different rice ...
