FEATURED SCIENCE

Functional Food Research

Predicting single kernel and bulk milled rice alkali spreading value and gelatinization temperature class using NIR spectroscopy​

Paul Armstrong and colleagues demonstrate the potential of single kernel NIR spectroscopy as a high throughput means for predicting gelatinization temperature (GT) from alkali spreading value (ASV) scores for rice classification. Calibrations for ASV as a predictor of GT class will be highly beneficial while not requiring additional resources.​​
