The results
also showed that except for the property of reducing sugar,
no significant differences were observed among the rice groups of
HY-rice, HEQ-rice and glutinous rice in either pH value, total
acidity, amino acidity, or soluble solids. However, significant differences
in pH value, total acidity, amino acidity and reducing
sugar content were observed among some different individual rice
cultivars (Table 2). This indicates that for chemical fermentation
characteristics of rice, generally, significant differences exist
among individual rice cultivars rather than among different rice
groups such as glutinous rice group, high eating quality rice group
and high yield rice group.
