Temperature and duration of storage provided significant affects on
those properties.
For stored rice samples at high temperatures (25oC and 37oC), the rate of quality change in BR, PB and PP samples were higher.
The changes were much more observed in the samples with longer aging.
After 6 months, starch granular structure changed when storage PB and
PP grains at the high storage temperature whereas the structure unaltered under 4o
C storage
These moisture and starch granule structure changes affected the texture of cooked rice
Short storage at below room temperature is suggested to maintain physical and chemical parboiled rice qualities
whenever those parboiled rice is produced from brown rice or rough rice
