The functionality of rice starch depends on the amylose amylopectin ratio. Differences among rice starches made from long-, medium- or short-grain rice are insignificant relative to the amylose content. Rice starches made from common rice tend toward higher peak, cooked and cooled viscosities, as well as paste textures that are short and pasty. The texture of waxy rice starch pastes tends to be long and stringy (Table 13.3). 

Rice whose grain is less than two times longer than its width is classified as short grain. In general, short grain rice has an...

Several studies used RP-HPLC of rice prolamin and glutelin storage proteins for varietal identification [44,123-126], Patterns are genotype specific and little influenced by environment. Long-, medium-, and short-grained cultivars are differentiated, as are closely related sister lines. RP-HPLC identification of rice varieties was reviewed by Lookhart and Juliano [127],...
