Page Content May 22–23, 2024University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, or Online
In-person registration is sold out, but you can still join us virtually! Register by May 17 to join us online!
Rice is one of the leading food crops in the world and is nutritious, versatile, and gluten-free. Using a mix of lecture and lab work, this course will provide information and hands-on experience about rice physiology, quality, milling, functionality, and sensory evaluation. The structure and composition of a rice kernel and the physicochemical properties of kernel constituents will also be discussed.
Attendees Will:
- Understand the unique characteristics of rice as a food product and ingredient
- Learn about rice breeding and various factors impacting rice quality
- Understand hybrid rice postharvest research
- Gain knowledge of rice production and post-harvest processing
- Understand rice milling and how rice processing is unique among cereal grains
- Review of sensory evaluation for raw and cooked rice

Dr. Ya-Jane Wang |
Dr. Wang received her B.S. in Agricultural Chemistry from National Taiwan University in 1986, M.S. in Food Science from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 1989, and Ph.D. in Food Science and Technology from Iowa State University in 1992. She joined the Food Science Department at the University of Arkansas as a Carbohydrate Chemist in 1999 after working at American Maize Products Company as a starch chemist for more than 5 years. She has worked extensively with rice breeders, agronomists, engineers, and food scientists in the U.S. and from different countries to investigate starch structures and properties in relation to rice quality and applications. She has also characterized the common and unique quality traits among U.S. and imported rice cultivars to identify the underlying starch characteristics that impact such traits. She has worked with companies using starch and rice in their products, such as rice producers and processors, cereals, granolas, beers, crackers, vegetarian/vegan products, sushi and mochi products. |
