Rice cooking and sensory quality
International audience; This chapter provides a state-of-the-art review of the diversity and dynamics of consumer demand with respect to the eating quality of rice worldwide. Quality includes both tangible measurable factors (rice characteristics) and the context of consumption. The main sensory attributes evaluated around the world are described, and their relationship with the diversity of consumer demand is discussed. Instrumental methods for predicting quality measured on either raw or cooked grains are reviewed. The changes that occur in the rice grain during cooking are described along with a modeling approach able to predict the changes and their spatial distribution in the rice grai…
Impact flavor compounds in cooked rice cultivars from the Camargue area (France)
International audience; Rice from two scented (Aychade, Fidji) and one nonscented (Ruille) cultivars from Camargue area (France) together with one Asian scented rice (Thai) were cooked and volatile compounds were extracted by dichloromethane/pentane (1;2, v/v) solvent mixture. 40 odorous compounds were noticed during GC-O analysis of the organic extracts, amongst which oct-1-en-3-one and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline were altmost constantly perceived. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) of perceived odours enabled to distinguish the groups of rice cultivars. 60 compounds were identified and quantified by GC-MS. New odour-active components of cooked rice were detected for the first time including oct…
Impact flavor compounds in cooked rice cultivars from Camargue area (France)
International audience; Efforts have been undertaken for the last decades to promote the production of scented rice cultivars in Camargue, a traditional rice cultivation area in the south of France. Volatile compounds of cooked rice from two scented Camargue rice cultivars (Aychade and Fidji) were analysed and compared to that of a marketed Asian scented rice one (Thai)(1). Additionally volatile analysis from a cooked rice of a non-scented cultivar (Ruille) grown in Camargue was performed. (...)
