A large pool of rice samples (79 genotypes) differing in their amylose contents were investigated for the viability of their flours by examination of their functional properties.
Factor analysis was used to analyse the genetic similarities and differences in the functional properties of flours from the mutants and the parent genotype.
The present study was focused on identifying predictive parameters for the rapid screening of rice genotypes for flour quality,
suitable both for small and large scale use.
