Sticky rice

Third, before ingestion, the herbal powders are mixed with sweet radish juice and Chinese ink, which is made from charred cypress and pine with cooked sticky rice. This enhances their ability to stop bleeding. 

Sometimes mutant plants can be quite delicious. I say. Over 1,000 years ago, a spontaneous mutation gave rise to the rice needed for one of my favorite recipes, sticky rice with mango, an ancient treat from Thailand, which I share with the group now (box 7.1 and recipe 7.2). 

One of these spontaneous mutants gave rise to the precious sticky rice of Thailand. The sticky rice lacks the starch amylose, which constitutes up to 30% of the total starch in nonsticky rice endosperm. The lack of amylose is due to a mutation in a gene called Waxy, which encodes an enzyme required for amylose synthesis (Sano 1984). Sticky rice is an important culinary and cultural component throughout East Asia and is used in festival foods and desserts. In upland regions of Southeast Asia, it is a staple food in many homes. Ten percent of the rice traded each year is sticky rice. 

The development of sticky rice is a good example of how plant breeders choose modified plants in response to local cultural preferences.

RICE Utilized by few cultivators. Even when it is balanced to recommended moisture levels, the kernels tend to clump together owing to the sticky nature of the outer coat. 

The most serious problem encountered In SSF of grains, especially rice. Is that the substrates become sticky and form compact masses In which movement of air Is restricted. The grains also agglomerate Into compact masses due to fungal growth on their surfaces. Therefore, timely and proper agitation Is required to break such agglomerates and provide better aeration. 

Medium grain rice is milled rice that is from 2.1 to 2.9 times longer than its width. Medium grain rice generally has an amylose content of 20%-25%. After cooking, it becomes soft, moist, and sticky. This type of rice is generally preferred by people from Japan, Northern China, North Korea, and South Korea. 

The textural (stickiness and consistency on cooking) and physiochemical properties of rice could not be explained on the basis of the total amylose content but these properties correlated well with the insoluble amylose content. The protein content had no effect on these properties. A cross-linked amylose has been used as a substrate to determine the a- and )3-amylase activities of amylo-lytic preparations. ...

Toro rice is classified as long but contains a similar amylose content (18%-20%) to that generally observed in the medium and short rices. Therefore, culinary and cooked textural properties are similar to the medium/short rice. It is also known as Cajun rice. Generally a short rice, consumed in J an and in northern China that possesses low-amylose content (12%-19%). Once cooked, it acquires a sticky texture. 

Rice with intermediate or high content of amylose that, once cooked, is not sticky. 

Also referred to as sweet or glutinous, waxy rices are characterized by opaque endosperms in which the starch is practically 100% amylopectin. Most varieties are classified as short and have a low gelatinization temperature, and relatively low amylograph peak, hot paste, and cool paste viscosities. When cooked they tend to lose their shape and are sticky or glutinous. Waxy rices are used to prepare sushi. 

Parboiled rice Rice obtained after parboiling and milling rough rice. The white parboiled kernels are harder and, upon cooking, produce less stickiness.
