Chemical composition of scented rice.

摘要

Analysis of grain samples of nine scented rice cultivars revealed considerable variation in their chemical compositions. The crude protein constituted 9.17 to 11.77% and soluble protein 4.62 to 6.48% on dry weight basis. The soluble protein fractions viz albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin were present in the proportion of 13:15:6:66 of the total extracted protein. The significant variation in the proteins, total soluble sugars, amylose, amylopectin and mineral content among the rice cultivarswas attributed to their genetic constitution as well as environmental influences.
