Color of dehusked rice grain
Color of dehusked grain was determined by
Hunter-Lab (Ultrascan XE, Hunter-Lab, USA).
Prior to color measurements, the instrument was
calibrated with light tap and white calibration tile.
The colorimeter was set to an illuminant condition
D65 and a 10° standard observer. Each sample was put
in a cuvette and replaced in to the specular port site,
the color parameters (a*
, b*
and L*
) were then read
(Lamberts et al., 2007). Fifteen replicates for each
sample were determined.
