the glycemic index, faster breakdown of food and thereby more release of glucose in the blood, so immediate
requirement of insulin, which can be toxic for diabetic patients. Glycemic index and amylose content are inversely
proportional to each other. There is a wide variation in the amylose content of rice depending on the way it is
cooked. In this paper, the effect of cooking on amylose content of rice is described using various experimental
approaches. Various method of cooking involves traditional method, microwave and steam cooked method. The
amylose content of the rice is then co-related with its glycemic index.
