The lightness of dried sample appeared to have positive correlation
with the rehydration ratio and stickiness of rehydrated rice
(P 0.01). As previously described, the more lightnesswas found in
low bulk density rice; therefore, the cause of positive correlation
between the lightness of dried sample and the rehydration ratio
was related to its porous structure. Similarly, the samples that had
more lightness was likely to had less color intensity; thus, the cause
