Food Chem 2025; 462:140987. [PMID: 39217748 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the textural changes of cooked germinated brown rice (GBR) during freeze-thaw treatment and propose a strategy for enhancing its texture using magnetic field (MF). Seven freeze-thaw cycles exhibited more pronounced effects compared to 7 days of freezing, resulting in increases in GBR hardness by 85.59 %-164.36 % and decreases in stickiness by 10.34 %-43.55 %. Water loss, structural damage of GBR flour, and starch retrogradation contributed to the deterioration of texture. MF mitigated these effects by inhibiting the transformation of bound water into free water, reducing water loss by 0.39 %-0.57 %, and shortening the phase transition period by 2.0-21.5 min, thereby diminishing structural damage to GBR flour and hindering starch retrogradation. Following MF treatment (5 mT), GBR hardness decreased by 21.00 %, while stickiness increased by 45.71 %. This study elucidates the mechanisms through which MF enhances the texture, offering theoretical insights for the industrial production of high-quality frozen rice products.

Investigation of starch hierarchical structure in relation to physicochemical properties and digestive behavior under different high hydrostatic pressure treatment time. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135208. [PMID: 39218176 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Changes and causal relationships in the hierarchical structure, thermal, pasting and rheological properties, as well as the digestive behavior of starch under different high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment time were investigated. At 5 min, the thickness of amorphous lamellae increased (2.76 nm) and the content of B2 and B3 chains in the amorphous lamellae decreased significantly (10.78 % and 9.08 %). As the treatment time increased, the crystalline lamellae swelled and tightly arranged double helices located in the crystalline lamellae were disturbed, resulting in a decrease in the content of double helices (12.16 %) and relative crystallinity (16.96 %). Helix dissociation, crystal disruption, lamellar collapse and granule deformation were observed at 20 min. These structural changes were closely linked to variations in the physicochemical behaviors. The thermal parameters decreased gradually, accompanied by a decrease in double helix stability. The swollen crystalline lamellae provided more space for molecular stretching, thus enhancing the pasting characteristics. Regarding the digestive behavior, the swollen amorphous lamellae facilitated the invention of enzyme molecules to hydrolyze the starch at 5 min. The digestion rate coefficient and rapidly digestible starch content increased significantly until 15 min, which demonstrated that starch was more easily digested while retaining its intact granular form.

Bactericidal effect of ultrasound on glutinous rice during soaking and its influence on physicochemical properties of starch and quality characteristics of sweet dumplings. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 110:107034. [PMID: 39173449 PMCID: PMC11388662 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.107034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
The soaking process of glutinous rice allows the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, which can easily cause food safety problems. In this work, the effects of different ultrasonic powers (150 W, 300 W, 450 W, and 600 W) on the bactericidal effect of glutinous rice, the physicochemical properties of starch and the quality characteristics of sweet dumplings were studied. Compared with soaking for 0 and 2 h, sonication of glutinous rice after soaking for 4 h was more effective at reducing the number of microorganisms in soaked glutinous rice, and the bactericidal effect increased with increasing ultrasound intensity. After 30 min, the total number of bacteria decreased by 2.04 log CFU/g. Moreover, ultrasonic treatment destroys the grain structure of glutinous rice starch, resulting in the formation of dents and cracks on the starch surface, increasing the amylose content, improving its expansion, reducing its short-range order and relative crystallinity, and altering its gelatinization characteristics. In addition, ultrasonic treatment increased the soup transparency of sweet dumplings from 51.8 % to 63.95 %, reducing their hardness, chewiness and adhesiveness. In summary, ultrasonic treatment can not only effectively kill microorganisms in soaked glutinous rice but also improve the quality of glutinous rice dumplings by changing the physicochemical properties of glutinous rice starch. The results of this study provide theoretical support for the application of ultrasonic technology in glutinous rice food production.

Cao S, Li C. Short-range molecular order is the driving factor for starch digestibility and texture of alginate-encapsulated rice beads. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:8059-8069.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice grain analogues with slow starch digestibility are commonly associated with an unsatisfactory texture, often leading to consumer dissatisfaction. Alginate encapsulation has been applied to reduce the digestibility of corn and potato starch. The fine molecular structures of rice starch can greatly determine its digestibility and texture. However, it remains unclear whether a combination of alginate encapsulation and varied starch molecular structures can be employed to create rice grain analogues that offer both slow starch digestibility and an appealing texture. RESULTS For the first time, the present study constructed alginate-encapsulated rice beads (as a rice grain analogue). A wide range of starch digestion rates were found among alginate-encapsulated rice beads prepared with different rice varieties, and only certain rice varieties (e.g. Subei and Nanjing) were able to result in rice beads with slower starch digestibility than their parental rice kernels. More importantly, all rice beads showed a relatively softer texture compared to their parental rice kernels. Correlation analysis showed that starch digestion rate, hardness and stickiness were all positively correlated with the ratio of short-range amorphous regions in rice bead samples, as obtained from Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, but not with the relative crystallinity. CONCLUSION Collectively, these results suggest that rice beads with slower starch digestion rate and softer texture could be obtained by choosing rice varieties that develop more short-range ordered structure after cooking. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Due to its high polyphenol content, black rice plays a significant role in good nutrition; however, these antioxidant compounds are affected by heat treatments required for the rice consumption. The aim of this work was to investigate how cooking affects the composition of Artemide black rice, comparing innovative methods, such as sous vide, with traditional domestic techniques (risotto and pilaf). Proteins and ashes were not affected by cooking, except for pilaf rice, where a 42 % ashes decrease was observed; fiber content increased after all cooking methods, reaching a 29 % increase in the risotto. Antioxidant activity, total polyphenols, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins were reduced on average of 40 %, 34 %, 43 % and 39 %, respectively. Individual anthocyanins decreased, while phenolic acids and other flavonoids presented different behaviours, also depending if considered in their free or bound form. Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside was reduced up to 56 % in the sous vide cooked rice at 99 °C, and only by 45 % and 37 % in the risotto and sous vide cooked rice at 89 °C, respectively. Traditional risotto preparation and the innovative sous vide cooking at 89 °C also maintained the highest antioxidant polyphenols content, saving 63 % of the antioxidant activity in respect to the raw black rice. Concluding, these last techniques can be suggested for a better preservation of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
White rice consumption has been regarded as a potential risk factor for non-communicable diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Thus, increasing attention has been paid to develop slowly digested rices with acceptable palatability. As the most abundant component of rice kernels, the fine molecular structure of starch controls not only the texture & aroma, but also the digestion properties of cooked rice. A large number of studies have been conducted to see what molecular structural features control the digestibility and palatability of cooked rice, which further could be connected to starch biosynthesis to enable rices with targeted functionalities to be chosen in non-empirical ways. Nonetheless, little progress has been made because of improper experimental designs. For example, the effects of starch fine molecular structure on cooked rice digestibility and palatability has been rarely studied within one study, resulting to various digestion results. Even for the same sample, it is hard to obtain consistent conclusions and sometimes, the results/coclusions are even controversy. In this review paper, starch fine molecular structural effects on the texture, aroma and starch digestion properties of cooked white rice were summarized followed by a detailed discussion of the relations between the fine molecular structures of amylopectin and amylose to deduce a more general conclusion of starch molecular structure-cooked rice property relations. It is expected that this review paper could provide useful information in terms of how to develop slowly digested rices with acceptable palatability.

Abstract
Sensory deterioration exists in marketed cooked rice. The migration and interaction of intrinsic components occur under multiple conditions in each industrial production process and cause relevant physicochemical changes in cooked rice. This review aims to establish a scientific knowledge system of intrinsic component transition and migration in cooked rice kernel during processing to solve qualitative deficiencies in cooked rice products. The main influencing factors of intrinsic component structural change in cooked rice and the quality control points that should be considered are summarized. Further studies are needed to establish proper evaluation standards for cooked rice products to meet the growing consumer demands.

Abstract
Rice grown in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil, is a potential threat to human health, but exogenous selenium (Se) application on rice can mitigate Cd toxicity. However, the mechanisms underlying Se mitigation of Cd stress in ratoon rice (RR) are still poorly understood. We conducted a pot experiment with moderate Cd-contaminated yellow-brown paddy soil on two rice varieties 'Taoyouxiangzhan' (TX) and 'Liangyou 6326'(LY). For all treatments, 1.0 mg kg-1 sodium selenite solution was added to soil. Treatment T1 was sodium selenite only, and in the other treatments 100 mg L-1 Se solution was sprayed on the leaves at seedling stage (T2), at tillering stage (T3), and in early anthesis stage (T4). Se treatments decreased Cd accumulation in rice grains and herbage. Under foliar spraying 100 mg L-1 Se at the seedling + 1.0 mg kg-1 Se in soil (T2), leaf Cd content decreased 16.95% in the current season and grains content decreased 46.67% in the subsequent season. Furthermore, grain Se content increased 0.94 mg kg-1 for the TX variety combined with the analysis of Cd bio-accumulation factor in grains, and Se treatments effectively decreased Cd grain concentrations due to reduced Cd translocation from roots to grains. TX variety rice showed a more pronounced response to Se treatments than LY.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluten-free bread (GFB) has technical bottlenecks such as hard texture, rough taste and low nutrition in practical production. In order to solve these problems, this study used germinated brown rice starch as the main raw material, and investigated the effects of soybean isolate protein (SPI) on the multiscale structure of germinated brown rice starch and bread quality. RESULTS A gluten-free rice bread process simulation system was established, and the interaction between SPI and starch in the simulation system was characterized. The result shows that the interaction forces between SPI and germinated brown rice starch were mainly represented by hydrogen bonds, and with the addition of SPI, the crystallinity of starch showed a downward trend. At the same time, when the amount of SPI was 3%, the appearance quality was the best and the specific volume of bread was 1.08 mL g-1. When the amount of SPI was 6%, the texture quality was the best. Compared with the bread without SPI, the hardness of the bread with 6% SPI was reduced by 0.13 times, the springiness was increased by 0.03 times, the color was the most vibrant, the L* value being 1.02 times the original, and the baking loss was reduced to 0.98 times the original. CONCLUSIONS The interaction force between SPI and germinated brown rice starch and its effect on bread quality were clarified, and these results inform choices about providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent development of higher-quality GFB. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 39042462 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
This study used a combination method of ultrafine grinding and pregelatinization to modify rice starch (RS) to delay its retrogradation and provide a rationale for prolonging rice product shelf life. The structure and physicochemical properties of the pregelatinized ultrafine grinding rice starch (PURS) were compared with those of RS, ultrafine grinding rice starch (URS), and pregelatinized rice starch (PRS). The microstructure, molecular weight, branched starch length distribution, short-range order, crystal structure, and physical properties of RS, URS, PRS, and PURS were analyzed, respectively. Results showed that RS, URS, PRS, and PURS granules exhibited similar spherical or polygonal shapes, and the content of amylose and short-branched starch in PURS increased compared with RS, URS, and PRS. Furthermore, the cross-polarization of PRS and PURS disappeared. Long-chain amylopectin and average molecular weight of PURS decreased significantly after ultrafine grinding. Our study suggested reduced breakdown value and setback value and improved gel stability, and PURS was beneficial for delaying retrogradation compared to RS, URS, and PRS. The ultrafine grinding method improved the water swelling capacity (WSC), solubility, pasting properties, and gelation properties of PRS. The hardness of PURS was reduced by ultrafine grinding. These suggest that the combination of ultrafine grinding and pregelatinization could improve the properties of RS. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the structure of PURS significantly influenced the physicochemical properties. The present study was helpful in better understanding the importance of ultrafine grinding in improving the anti-retrogradation of PURS and provided new insights into extending the shelf life of rice products by ultrafine grinding and pregelatinization.

Mild Approach for the Formulation of Chestnut Flour-Enriched Snacks: Influence of Processing Parameters on the Preservation of Bioactive Compounds of Raw Materials. Foods 2024; 13:2651. [PMID: 39272419 PMCID: PMC11394262 DOI: 10.3390/foods13172651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2024] [Revised: 08/20/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Third-generation snacks were developed from a triad of flours made up of chestnut, spelt, and chickpea flour. Optimal snack formulations and processing parameters have been established to ensure acceptable workability of the raw dough while protecting the bioactive components of the raw materials. The parameters examined were mixing time, speed, and temperature. The properties of the snack were evaluated by analyzing the expansion ratio, hardness, moisture content, and phenolic and volatile compounds. The optimal mixing conditions that ensure maximum expansion were a temperature of 30 °C, a speed of 30 rpm, and a time of 6 min. The results showed that the proper percentage of water and sodium bicarbonate was 35% and 2%, respectively, and that the developed snacks had an alveolar and homogeneous structure. The proposed approach brings several advantages, including the preservation of bioactive compounds during the production process. Furthermore, the mild operating conditions prevented the development of unwanted or unpleasant compounds, as confirmed by the analysis of volatile compounds. Therefore, this study opens new perspectives in the food industry, satisfying the growing demand for functional products and healthy snacks.

Differences in cooking taste and physicochemical properties between compound nutritional rice and common rice. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1435977. [PMID: 39144284 PMCID: PMC11322078 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1435977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, it was compared the physicochemical properties and cooking taste quality between four different types of compound nutritional rice (rice flour with the addition of other coarse grains, legumes, potatoes, and other powders, extruded as artificial rice grains) and common rice. We found that the protein and apparent amylose contents of compound nutritional rice were higher than that of common rice, up to 9.775% and 19.45% respectively. The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and resistant starch contents were much lower than in common rice, and the dietary fiber content did not differ from that in common rice. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the starch properties and structure of the compound nutritional rice changed due to high temperature and high pressure processing. In particular, the crystalline structures of starch became V-shaped. In addition, the results of artificial tasting and tasting meter showed that the taste of compound nutritional rice was generally inferior to that of common rice. In summary, compound nutritional rice had problems such as nutritional imbalance and poor taste. There was still a lot of room for improving the taste quality of compound nutritional rice. Therefore, the future development of compound nutritional rice should focus on both nutritional balance and taste improvement. The results of this paper also provided a certain theoretical basis for this.

Abstract
Staple foods serve as vital nutrient sources for the human body, and chewiness is an essential aspect of food texture. Age, specific preferences, and diminished eating functions have broadened the chewiness requirements for staple foods. Therefore, comprehending the formation mechanism of chewiness in staple foods and exploring approaches to modulate it becomes imperative. This article reviewed the formation mechanisms and quality control methods for chewiness in several of the most common staple foods (rice, noodles, potatoes and bread). It initially summarized the chewiness formation mechanisms under three distinct thermal processing methods: water medium, oil medium, and air medium processing. Subsequently, proposed some effective approaches for regulating chewiness based on mechanistic changes. Optimizing raw material composition, controlling processing conditions, and adopting innovative processing techniques can be utilized. Nonetheless, the precise adjustment of staple foods' chewiness remains a challenge due to their diversity and technical study limitations. Hence, further in-depth exploration of chewiness across different staple foods is warranted.

Abstract
Multigrain reconstituted rice, as a nutritious and convenient staple, holds considerable promise for the food industry. Furthermore, highland barley, corn, and other coarse cereals are distinguished by their low glycemic index (GI), rendering them effective in mitigating postprandial blood glucose levels, thereby underscoring their beneficial physiological impact. This study investigated the impact of extrusion temperature on the physicochemical properties, edible quality, and digestibility of multigrain reconstituted rice. The morphology revealed that starch particles that are not fully gelatinized in multigrain reconstituted rice are observed at an extrusion temperature range of 60 °C-90 °C. As the extrusion temperature increased, the degree of gelatinization (DG) increased, while the contents of water, protein, total starch, and amylopectin decreased substantially. Concurrently, the relative crystallinity, orderliness of starch, and heat absorption enthalpy (ΔH) decreased significantly, and water absorption (WAI) and water solubility (WSI) increased markedly. Regarding edible quality, sensory evaluation displayed an initial increase followed by a decrease. In terms of digestibility, the estimated glycemic index (eGI) increased from 61.10 to 70.81, and the GI increased from 60.41 to 75.33. In addition, the DG was significantly correlated with both eGI (r = 0.886**) and GI (r = 0.947**). The results indicated that the ideal extrusion temperature for multigrain reconstituted rice was 90 °C. The findings underscored the pivotal role of optimal extrusion temperatures in the production of multigrain reconstituted rice, which features low GI and high nutritional quality.

Abstract
Water sources have become extremely scarce and contaminated by organic and inorganic industrial and agricultural pollutants as well as household wastes. Poisoning water resources by dyes and metals is a problem because contaminated water can leak into subsurface and surface sources, causing serious contamination and health problems. Therefore, developing wastewater treatment technologies is valuable. Today, hydrogels have attracted considerable attention owing to their broad applications. Hydrogels are polymeric network compositions with significant water-imbibing capacity. Hydrogels have potential applications in diverse fields such as biomedical, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biosensors. They can be prepared by using natural (biopolymers) and synthetic polymers. Synthetic polymer-based hydrogels obtained from petrochemicals are not environmentally benign; thus, abundant plant-based polysaccharides are found as more suitable compounds for making biodegradable hydrogels. Polysaccharides with many advantages such as non-toxicity, biodegradability, availability, inexpensiveness, etc. are widely employed for the preparation of environmentally friendly hydrogels. Polysaccharides-based hydrogels containing chitin, chitosan, gum, starch (St), etc. are employed to remove pollutants, metals, and dyes. Among these, St has attracted a lot of attention. St can be mixed with other compounds to make hydrogels, which remove dyes and metal ions to variable degrees of efficiency. Although St has numerous advantages, it suffers from drawbacks such as low stability, low water solubility, and fast degradability in water which limit its application as an environmental adsorbent. As an effective way to overcome these weaknesses, various modification approaches to form starch-based hydrogels (SBHs) employing different compounds have been reported. The preparation methods and applications of SBH adsorbents in organic dyes, hazardous materials, and toxic ions elimination from water resources have been comprehensively discussed in this review.

Abstract
Climate warming is a critical environmental issue affecting rice production. However, its effects on cooked rice texture and rice thermal properties remain unstudied in China. To address this gap, we conducted a two-year multi-site field warming experiment using free-air temperature increase facilities across three major Chinese rice cropping systems. Interestingly, warming had a minimal impact on the hardness of cooked rice, while it significantly increased stickiness by an average of 16.3% under warming conditions. Moreover, compared to control treatments, rice flour exhibited a significant increase in gelatinization enthalpy, onset, peak, and conclusion temperatures under warming conditions, with average increments of 8.7%, 1.00 °C, 1.05 °C, and 1.17 °C, respectively. In addition, warming significantly declined the amylose content, remarkedly elevated the protein content and relative crystallinity, and altered the weight distribution of the debranched starch. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between cooked rice stickiness, rice flour thermal properties, amylose content, protein content, and partial starch structures. Therefore, warming-induced alterations in rice composition and starch structure collectively enhanced cooked rice stickiness and rice thermal stability.

Abstract
Starch is a significant ingredient of the seed endosperm with commercial importance in food and industry. Crop varieties with glutinous (waxy) grain characteristics, i.e. starch with high amylopectin and low amylose, hold longstanding cultural importance in some world regions and unique properties for industrial manufacture. The waxy character in many crop species is regulated by a single gene known as GBSSI (or waxy), which encodes the enzyme Granule Bound Starch Synthase1 with null or reduced activity. Several allelic variants of the waxy gene that contribute to varying levels of amylose content have been reported in different crop plants. Phylogenetic analysis of protein sequences and the genomic DNA encoding GBSSI of major cereals and recently sequenced millets and pseudo-cereals have shown that GBSSI orthologs form distinct clusters, each representing a separate crop lineage. With the rapidly increasing demand for waxy starch in food and non-food applications, conventional crop breeding techniques and modern crop improvement technologies such as gene silencing and genome editing have been deployed to develop new waxy crop cultivars. The advances in research on waxy alleles across different crops have unveiled new possibilities for modifying the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin starch, leading to the potential creation of customized crops in the future. This article presents molecular lines of evidence on the emergence of waxy genes in various crops, including their genesis and evolution, molecular structure, comparative analysis and breeding innovations.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the leachate and textural characteristics of cooked rice, and the correlations between the leachate properties and texture attributes were also investigated. Cooked waxy rice had much higher total solids and amylopectin amount in leachate than the normal and high-amylose rice. For all varieties, the amylopectin chain length of the leachate was similar, excluding Dodam cultivar. The rheological characteristics of the leachate solutions were highly dependent on the amylopectin amount of the leachate. Regarding the textural characteristics, Dodam had the highest hardness and the lowest adhesiveness. The principal component analysis showed substantial differences in leachate and textural characteristics of Korean cooked rice according to its amylose content. The adhesiveness was positively and negatively correlated with amylopectin amount of leachate and the proportion of long amylopectin chains, respectively. These results indicated that the leachate characteristics of cooked rice significantly influenced its textural attributes.

Abstract
Natural resistant starch (RS) in rice provides human health benefits, and its concentration in rice is influenced by the structure and physicochemical properties of starch. The native starch structures and physicochemical properties of three rice varieties, QR, BR58, and BR50, and their relationships to in vitro digestibility were studied. The starch granules in all three varieties were irregular or polyhedral in shape. There were a few oval granules and a few pinhole structures in QR, no oval granules but a higher number of pinholes in BR58, and no oval granules and pinholes in BR50. QR is a low-amylose (13.8 %), low-RS (0.2 %) variety. BR58 is a low-amylose (15.3 %), high-RS (6.5 %) variety. BR50 is a high-amylose (26.7 %), high-RS (8.3 %) variety. All three starches exhibited typical A-type diffraction patterns. Starch molecular weight, chain length distribution, starch branching degree, pasting capabilities, and thermal properties differed considerably between the rice starches. The RS contents of the rice starch varieties were positively correlated with AAC, Mw/Mn, Mz/Mn, peak 3, B, PTime, and Tp and negatively correlated with Mn, peak 2, DB, PV, and BD, according to Pearson's correlation analysis. These findings may be helpful for the breeding and development of high-RS rice varieties.

Abstract
While brown rice (BR) has numerous nutritional properties, the consumption potential of which is seriously restricted since the poor cooking quality and undesirable flavor. Here, edible oils (pork lard and corn oil, 1-5 wt%) were incorporated during the cooking of BR following heat moisture treatment. Incorporating corn oil rather than lard significantly ameliorated the texture properties (e.g. hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness) and sensory properties of cooked BR. Both lard- and corn oil-incorporated cooked BR showed obvious structural changes accompanied by the formation of amylose-lipid complexes during cooking. It was confirmed that the incorporation of lard and corn oil allowed a higher degree of short-range molecular order, more V-type starch crystallites, and elevated nano-structural arrangements. Additionally, a decreased hardness (from 559.04 g to 424.18 g and 385.91 g, respectively) and enriched resistant starch (RS) were also observed, the highest RS content (15.95 % and 16.32 %, respectively) was observed when 1 wt% of lard and corn oil were incorporated.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated enhancement of semi-dwarf glutinous traits in elite Xiangdaowan rice ( Oryza sativa L.): targeting SD1 and Wx genes for yield and quality improvement. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1333191.

Abstract
In rice cultivation, the traits of semi-dwarfism and glutinous texture are pivotal for optimizing yield potential and grain quality, respectively. Xiangdaowan (XDW) rice, renowned for its exceptional aromatic properties, has faced challenges due to its tall stature and high amylose content, resulting in poor lodging resistance and suboptimal culinary attributes. To address these issues, we employed CRISPR/Cas9 technology to precisely edit the SD1 and Wx genes in XDW rice, leading to the development of stable genetically homozygous lines with desired semi-dwarf and glutinous characteristics. The sd1-wx mutant lines exhibited reduced gibberellin content, plant height, and amylose content, while maintaining hardly changed germination rate and other key agronomic traits. Importantly, our study demonstrated that exogenous GA3 application effectively promoted growth by compensating for the deficiency of endogenous gibberellin. Based on this, a semi-dwarf glutinous elite rice (Oryza sativa L.) Lines was developed without too much effect on most agronomic traits. Furthermore, a comparative transcriptome analysis unveiled that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were primarily associated with the anchored component of the membrane, hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, peroxidase activity, terpene synthase activity, and apoplast. Additionally, terpene synthase genes involved in catalyzing the biosynthesis of diterpenoids to gibberellins were enriched and significantly down-regulated. This comprehensive study provides an efficient method for simultaneously enhancing rice plant height and quality, paving the way for the development of lodging-resistant and high-quality rice varieties.

Abstract
Although texture of cooked rice has been investigated with regard to its relation to starch structure, it remains unclear how starch molecular structure and water content together affect its texture. Thus, the texture, and starch molecular structure of 10 rice varieties and their leachates during cooking were studied with a range of rice-to-water ratios. Although hardness of cooked rice decreased, no trend for the alteration of stickiness observed over the increase of water content. Generally, more amylopectin with DP 12-36 and amylose with DP 5000-20,000 in leachate, less starch molecules with DP > 36 in residual materials resulted in a higher stickiness of cooked rice, which is rationalized by their slower retrogradation tendency and higher amount of non-reducing ends available for binding to textural probe. Rice-to-water ratio was another crucial factor in determining relations between starch structures and cooked rice texture. For example, more leached amylopectin with DP 12-100 resulted in a higher stickiness of cooked rice, while this was not the case for rice cooked at rice-to-water ratios of 1: 1.2 and 1: 1.4. These results give new insights on the effects of starch molecular structure and water content on the cooked rice texture.

Abstract
In actual storage processes of rice, environment temperatures fluctuate rather than remain constant. Accumulated temperature is the sum of temperature during the storage period. In this research, six different temperature-varied conditions with two accumulated temperatures (low intensity: 7200°C⸱d; high intensity: 9000°C⸱d) were designed to store rice for 12 months and the stored rice samples were compared in quality. Three low-accumulated temperature conditions were set as follows: No. 4-15°C for 6 months followed by 25°C; No. 5-25°C for 6 months followed by 15°C; No. 8-alternating between 15°C and 25°C every 2 months. Similarly, three high-intensity conditions, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 9, were set with a temperature change from 25°C to 35°C. Three constant temperature conditions, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, with storage temperature of 15, 25, and 35°C, respectively, were used as controls. Under temperature-varied conditions, rice demonstrated a decline in germination rate (GR), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities, and an increase in fatty acid value (FAV) as storage time increased. After storage, rice exhibited higher water absorption rate (WAR) and volume expansion rate (VER), but reduced stickiness and sensory scores for appearance, taste and overall quality. Generally, three batches at high-accumulated temperature conditions had lower GR and sensory scores, and higher FAV, WAR, and VER compared to those under low-intensity conditions. Furthermore, variations in the sequence of temperature also affected quality parameters, even at the same accumulated temperature. These findings indicate that under temperature-varied conditions, increased accumulated temperature exacerbates rice deterioration, and different temperature sequences can influence quality at a given accumulated temperature.

Abstract
Nitrogen has a critical influence on the yield and quality of proso millet. However, the exact impact of nitrogen on the cooking quality of proso millet is not clear. In this study, the cooking quality and starch properties of two proso millet varieties (waxy-Shaanxi millet [wSM] variety and non-waxy-Shaanxi millet [nSM] variety) were compared and analyzed under nitrogen fertilizer treatment (N150, 150 kg/hm2) and a control group without nitrogen application (N0, 0 kg/hm2). Compared with the N0 group, the N150 treatment significantly increased protein content, amylose levels, and total yield. Employing rapid visco analyser and differential scanning calorimetry analyses, we observed that under the N150 treatment, the peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity of proso millet powder were diminished, while the setback viscosity and enthalpy values (ΔH) increased. In addition, nitrogen treatment increased the solids content in the obtained rice soup and significantly hardened the texture of the rice. At the same time, we noticed that the absorption capacity of starch in water and oil was enhanced. These results showed that nitrogen fertilizer had significant effects on the cooking quality and starch properties of proso millet.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of Lipu taro starch (LTS), cassava starch (CS) and wheat starch (WS) were analyzed. These starches exhibited a comparable starch content (86 %). However, LTS had a significantly lower amylose content (15.93 %) compared to CS (26.62 %) and WS (33.53 %). Moreover, LTS demonstrated an irregular polygonal cubic morphology with a smaller particle size of 2.55 μm while possessed an A-type crystal structure with high crystallinity at 25.07 %. In contrast, CS and WS had larger particle sizes of 13.33 μm and 16.68 μm, respectively, with lower crystallinities of 22.52 % and 20.33 %. Due to these physicochemical properties, LTS exhibited superior emulsification properties with a higher emulsifying activity index of 8.63 m2/g and an emulsion stability index of 69.18 min, whereas CS and WS had values of 2.35 m2/g and 25.15 min, and 0.37 m2/g and 11.48 min, respectively. LTS also demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, characterized by higher gelatinization temperature (indicated by To, Tp, Tc, and ΔT) and reduced paste viscosity (indicated by PV, TV, FV, SBV, and BDV) compared to CS. However, the mechanical strength of the gel made from LTS (indicated by hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness) was comparatively inferior to those from CS and WS.

Abstract
Starch is a branched polymer of glucose with two components, both of which have (1 → 4)-α linear links and (1 → 6)-α branch points: amylopectin, of high molecular weight with many short branches, and amylose, of lower molecular weight and only a few long-chain branches. Granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) is one of the main enzymes controlling amylose synthesis and chain-length distribution. As production of different GBSSI mutants is time-consuming and laborious, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used here to predict the binding of different GBSSI mutants to a representative amylose fragment. The simulations were atomistic, with explicit solvent and docking, a method successfully used to understand the binding of wild-type GBSSI to amylose fragments. The binding of GBSSI to G5 (a pentasaccharide amylose fragment) is combined with free-energy calculations employing a thermodynamic integration method to predict the effects of mutations on enzyme activity. Ten GBSSI mutants with different enzyme activities were analyzed to find the structural and energy changes among different single amino-acid mutants and their possible relationship to starch characteristics. Comparing the structural changes and the relative binding free energy of G5 to the wild type GBSSI and GBSSI mutants, it was found that mutants with negative binding energy (lower than -2.0 kcal/mol) are more likely to have higher enzyme activity and amylose content compared to the wild type. This theoretical paper used simulations and robust free energy calculations to interpret in planta data with potential predictions as to what mutants might be generated to give desired properties. This study can be used to help develop grains with improved functional properties.

Abstract
The constitution and forms of rice determine its processing and cooking properties and further control the cooked rice quality. As the two main components, starch and protein content correlations and their characteristics have been extensively explored. However, rice is mainly consumed as polished kernels, components distribution, cytoplasmic matrix, and cell walls work together, and the properties of extracted components or flour are difficult to reflect the quality of cooked rice accurately. Thus, this review summarizes the multi-scale structure changes of main components during real rice cooking conditions. The dynamic thermal changes and leaching behaviors in rice kernels are compared with pure starch or rice flour. The in situ changes and interactions of starch granules, protein bodies, and cell walls during cooking are reviewed. Based on this, different textural evaluation methods are compared, and the advantages and disadvantages are pointed out. The oral chewing perception and bionic chewing simulation for textual evaluation have gradually become hot. Both rice quality controllers and eating quality evaluators attempt to establish an accurate quality evaluation system with the increased demand for high-quality rice.

[PMID: 38144815 PMCID: PMC10739843 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Straw return can improve rice eating quality by modifying starch formation from long-term field trials, whereas the relevant mechanisms are still unknown. A long-term field experiment, including straw removal (CK), straw burning return (SBR), and straw return (SR) was conducted to investigate the starch structure, physicochemical properties, and cooked rice textures of indica early- and late-rice. Compared with CK, SBR and SR enhanced relative crystallinity, amylopectin long chains in both rice seasons, and gelatinization temperatures in late rice. Compared to SBR, SR decreased protein content and amylopectin short chains but increased starch branching degree, breakdown, and stickiness, ultimately contributing to improved starch thermal and pasting properties. Meanwhile, SR decreased hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness, resulting in cooked texture meliorated, which was mainly attributed to amylopectin chain length and starch granule size. The results suggest that SR increased cooked texture of indica rice by altering starch structural and physicochemical properties.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 205:108049. [PMID: 37948977 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2023.108049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Rice is an important food crop and zinc (Zn) is a beneficial microelement. However, there are few reports on the effect of zinc on yield and physiological characteristics of rice. In this study, exogenous zinc (ZnSO4·7H2O) was applied on plant to explore the effects of zinc on rice yield, quality and photosynthetic capacity. The results showed that appropriate concentration of zinc could increase the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of rice leaves, and Zn2 (2 mg/L ZnSO4•7H2O) treatment was the most significant. However, the Zn treatment had no positive effect on rice yield except under the concentration of Zn2. Meanwhile, the result showed that Zn treatment could increase chalkiness degree (CD) and chalky grain rate (CGR), decreased amylose content (AC), increased protein content and changed protein composition of rice. The above indexes were most significant in Zn2 treatment. In addition, the Zn2 treatment significantly increased rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA) of rice. In conclusion, the results of this study suggested that Zn treatment could enhance the photosynthetic capacity of rice leaves, and improve the processing quality, taste quality and nutritional quality of rice. However, it will have a negative impact on the appearance quality of rice and cannot be used to increase rice production. This study will provide a basis for the application of zinc in rice production.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of static magnetic field (SMF, 0-10 mT) on the quality of rice dumplings subjected to 7, 14, 21, and 28 freeze-thaw cycles. The underlying mechanism was explored by monitoring changes in water phase transition, water distribution, and structural and physicochemical properties of rice flour. Results suggested that SMF enables the formation of small ice crystals by accelerating freezing rate, shortening phase transition time, and increasing bound water content, which attributes to reducing the mechanical damage on starch granules and thus improves the quality of frozen rice dumpling. After 7-28 freeze-thaw cycles, SMF treatment increased the whiteness by 0.08-1.58, reduced the cracking ratio by 1.67 %-8.34 %, decreased the water loss ratio by 0-0.75 %, and significantly improved the texture of cooked rice dumplings. This study confirmed the feasibility of SMF in improving the quality of rice dumpling, which contributes to expanding the applications of magnetic freezer in the preservation of starch-based foods.

Abstract
Starch chain-length distributions play an important role in controlling cereal product texture and starch physicochemical properties. Cooked foxtail millet texture and starch physicochemical properties were investigated and correlated with starch chain-length distributions in eight foxtail millet varieties. The average chain lengths of amylopectin and amylose were in the range of DP 24-25 and DP 878-1128, respectively. The percentage of short amylopectin chains (Ap1) was negatively correlated with hardness but positively correlated with adhesiveness and cohesion. Conversely, the amount of amylose intermediate chains was positively correlated with hardness but negatively correlated with adhesiveness and cohesion. Additionally, the amount of amylose long chains was negatively correlated with adhesiveness and chewiness. The relative crystallinity (RC) of starch decreased with reductions in the length of amylopectin short chains in foxtail millet. Pasting properties were mainly influenced by the relative length of amylopectin side chains and the percentage of long amylopectin branches (Ap2). Longer amylopectin long chains resulted in lower gelatinization temperature and enthalpy (ΔH). The amount of starch branched chains had important effects on the gelatinization temperature range (ΔT). These results can provide guidance for breeders and food scientists in the selection of foxtail millet with improved quality properties.

Effects of postponing nitrogen topdressing on starch structural properties of superior and inferior grains in hybrid indica rice cultivars with different taste values. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1251505. [PMID: 37881615 PMCID: PMC10597642 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1251505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Nitrogen (N) fertilizer management, especially postponing N topdressing can affect rice eating quality by regulating starch quality of superior and inferior grains, but the details are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of N topdressing on starch structure and properties of superior and inferior grains in hybrid indica rice with different tastes and to clarify the relationship between starch structure, properties, and taste quality. Methods Two hybrid indica rice varieties, namely the low-taste Fyou 498 and high-taste Shuangyou 573, were used as experimental materials. Based on 150 kg·N hm-2, three N fertilizer treatments were established: zero N (N0), local farmer practice (basal fertilizer: tillering fertilizer: panicle fertilizer=7:3:0) (N1), postponing N topdressing (basal fertilizer: tillering fertilizer: panicle fertilizer=3:1:6) (N2). Results The starch granules of superior grains were more complete, and the decrease in small granules content and the stability of starch crystals were a certain extent less than those of inferior grains. Compared with N1, under N2, low-taste and high-taste varieties large starch granules content were significantly reduced by 6.89%, 0.74% in superior grains and 4.26%, 2.71% in inferior grains, the (B2 + B3) chains was significantly reduced by 1.61%, 0.98% in superior grains, and 1.18%, 0.97% in inferior grains, both reduced the relative crystallinity and 1045/1022 cm-1, thereby decreasing the stability of the starch crystalline region and the orderliness of starch granules. N2 treatment reduced the ΔHgel of two varieties. These changes ultimately contributed to the enhancement of the taste values in superior and inferior grains in both varieties, especially the inferior grains. Correlation analysis showed that the average starch volume diameter (D[4,3]) and relative crystallinity were significantly positively correlated with the taste value of superior and inferior sgrains, suggesting their potential use as an evaluation index for the simultaneous enhancement of the taste value of rice with superior and inferior grains. Discussion Based on 150 kg·N hm-2, postponing N topdressing (basal fertilizer: tillering fertilizer: panicle fertilizer=3:1:6) promotes the enhancement of the overall taste value and provides theoretical information for the production of rice with high quality.

Abstract
It is important to clarify the effects of starch fine structure and protein components on the eating quality of indica rice. In this study, seven indica rice varieties with similar apparent amylose content (AAC) and protein content (PC) but different sensory taste values were selected and compared systematically. It was found that except for AAC and PC, these varieties showed significant differences in starch molecular structure and protein components. Compared with rice varieties with a low sensory taste value, varieties with a higher sensory taste value showed significantly lower amylose and higher amylopectin short chains (degree of polymerization 6-12) content; the protein component showed that the varieties with good taste value had higher albumin and lower globulin and glutelin content (p < 0.05). Rice varieties with lower AC, globulin, and glutelin content, as well as a higher content of albumin and amylopectin short chains, resulted in a higher swelling factor, peak viscosity, breakdown value, and ratio of hardness to stickiness, in which condition cooked rice showed a higher sensory taste value. Moreover, this study indicated that rice varieties with a higher content of albumin and amylopectin short chains were conducive to the good appearance of cooked rice. This study lays the foundation for the taste evaluation of good-tasting indica rice.

Abstract
The quality and starch properties of rice are significantly affected by nitrogen. The effect of the nitrogen application rate (0, 180, and 230 kg ha-1) on the texture of cooked rice and the hierarchical structure and physicochemical properties of starch was investigated over two years using two japonica cultivars, Bengal and Shendao505. Nitrogen application contributed to the hardness and stickiness of cooked rice, reducing the texture quality. The amylose content and pasting properties decreased significantly, while the relative crystallinity increased with the increasing nitrogen rates, and the starch granules became smaller with an increase in uneven and pitted surfaces. The proportion of short-chain amylopectin rose, and long-chain amylopectin declined, which increased the external short-range order by 1045/1022 cm-1. These changes in hierarchical structure and grain size, regulated by nitrogen rates, synergistically increased the setback viscosity, gelatinization enthalpy and temperature and reduced the overall viscosity and breakdown viscosity, indicating that gelatinization and pasting properties were the result of the joint action of several factors. All results showed that increasing nitrogen altered the structure and properties of starch, eventually resulting in a deterioration in eating quality and starch functional properties. A moderate reduction in nitrogen application could improve the texture and starch quality of rice while not impacting on the grain yield.

Abstract
With the continuous improvement of living standards, the preferences of consumers are shifting to rice varieties with high eating and cooking quality (ECQ). Milled rice is mainly composed of starch, protein, and oil, which constitute the physicochemical basis of rice taste quality. This review summarizes the relationship between rice ECQ and its intrinsic ingredients, and also briefly introduces the effects of nitrogen fertilizer management on rice ECQ. Rice varieties with higher AC usually have more long branches of amylopectin, which leach less when cooking, leading to higher hardness, lower stickinesss, and less panelist preference. High PC impedes starch pasting, and it may be hard for heat and moisture to enter the rice interior, ultimately resulting in worse rice eating quality. Rice with higher lipid content had a brighter luster and better eating quality, and starch lipids in rice have a greater impact on rice eating quality than non-starch lipids. The application of nitrogen fertilizer can enhance rice yield, but it also decreases the ECQ of rice. CRNF has been widely used in cereal crops such as maize, wheat, and rice as a novel, environmentally friendly, and effective fertilizer, and could increase rice quality to a certain extent compared with conventional urea. This review shows a benefit to finding more reasonable nitrogen fertilizer management that can be used to regulate the physical and chemical indicators of rice grains in production and to improve the taste quality of rice without affecting yield.

Abstract
Near-isogenic lines Nip(Wxb/SSII-2), Nip(Wxb/ss2-2), Nip(Wxmw/SSII-2), Nip(Wxmw/ss2-2), Nip(Wxmp/SSII-2) and Nip(Wxmp/ss2-2) in the Nipponbare (Nip) background containing the SSII-2RNAi cassette combined with different Waxy (Wx) alleles were investigated in terms of rice grain transparency and quality profiles. Rice lines carrying the SSII-2RNAi cassette displayed downregulation of SSII-2, SSII-3 and Wx genes. Introduction of the SSII-2RNAi cassette decreased apparent amylose content (AAC) in all transgenic lines, but grain transparency differed between low AAC rice lines. Grains from Nip(Wxb/SSII-2) and Nip(Wxb/ss2-2) were transparent, while those of rice were increasingly translucent with decreasing moisture due to cavities within starch granules. Rice grain transparency was positively correlated with grain moisture and AAC, but negatively correlated with cavity area within starch granules. Starch fine structure analysis revealed a marked increase in short amylopectin chains with DP 6-12, but a decrease in intermediate chains with DP 13-24, resulting in decreased gelatinisation temperature. Starch crystalline structure analysis showed that the transgenic rice starches have lower crystallinity and lamellar repeat distance than controls due to differences in starch fine structure. The results highlight the molecular basis underpinning rice grain transparency, and provide strategies for improving rice grain transparency.

Abstract
To better understand the correlation between structure and properties in thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films, the effects of amylose content, chain length distribution of amylopectin and molecular orientation of thermoplastic sweet potato starch (TSPS) and thermoplastic pea starch (TPES) on microstructure and functional properties of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films were studied. After thermoplastic extrusion, the amylose contents of TSPS and TPES decreased by 16.10 % and 13.13 %, respectively. The proportion of the chains with the degree of polymerization between 9 and 24 of amylopectin in TSPS and TPES increased from 67.61 % to 69.50 %, and from 69.51 % to 71.06 %, respectively. As a result, the degree of crystallinity and molecular orientation of TSPS and TPES films increased as compared to sweet potato starch and pea starch films. The thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films possessed a more homogeneous and compacter network. The tensile strength and water resistance of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films increased significantly, whereas thickness and elongation at break of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films decreased significantly.

Abstract
To illustrate the correlations between molecular structures and the film-forming properties of thermoplastic starch from various botanical sources, starches from cereal, tuber and legume were modified by thermoplastic extrusion and the corresponding thermoplastic starch films were prepared including thermoplastic corn starch (TCS), thermoplastic rice starch (TRS), thermoplastic sweet potato starch (TSPS), thermoplastic cassava starch (TCAS) and thermoplastic pea starch (TPES) films. TPES film displayed a higher tensile strength (6.28 MPa) and stronger water resistance, such as lower water solubility (15.70 %), water absorption (42.35 %), and water vapor permeability (0.285 g·mm·h-1·m-2·kPa-1) due to higher contents of amylose and B1 chains. TCAS showed a smoother and more amorphous film due to higher amylopectin content, resulting higher elongation at break and larger opacity. TCS film was the most transparent due to a compacter network and more ordered crystallinity structure, which was suit for the packaging of fresh vegetables and aquatic products, whereas TCAS film was the opaquest, which protected package foods from light such as meat products, etc. The outcome would provide an innovative theory to regulate accurately the functional properties of thermoplastic starch films for different food needs.

Abstract
The accomplishment of further optimization of crop productivity in grain yield and quality is a great challenge. Grain size is one of the crucial determinants of rice yield and quality; all of these traits are typical quantitative traits controlled by multiple genes. Research advances have revealed several molecular and developmental pathways that govern these traits of agronomical importance. This review provides a comprehensive summary of these pathways, including those mediated by G-protein, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mitogen-activated protein kinase, phytohormone, transcriptional regulators, and storage product biosynthesis and accumulation. We also generalize the excellent precedents for rice variety improvement of grain size and quality, which utilize newly developed gene editing and conventional gene pyramiding capabilities. In addition, we discuss the rational and accurate breeding strategies, with the aim of better applying molecular design to breed high-yield and superior-quality varieties.

Abstract
Late-season indica rice frequently encounters low temperature (LT) along with low light (LL) after heading in southern China, which deteriorates the grain quality by altering starch quality. However, the detailed effects on starch properties of these stressors remain unclear. Herein, two indica rice cultivars with good and poor grain quality were grown under control (CK), LT, and LT + LL conditions after heading and the structural and physicochemical properties of their starch were evaluated. Compared with CK, LT and LT + LL worsened thermal and pasting properties of starch in the two cultivars, mainly because they increased branch chain branching and A chain (DP ≤12), and decreased average branch chain length and crystallinity. Compared with LT, LT + LL deteriorated the pasting properties of the poor-quality cultivar, such as reducing breakdown (BD), final and peak viscosity, which mainly owing to decreasing the starch branching and crystallinity degrees, and increasing the small starch granules (d < 10 μm). Gelatinization enthalpy and BD both had significant and positive correlations with amylose content, the ratio of amylose and amylopectin, B3 chain and crystallinity. Taken together, these results suggest that LT and LT + LL during grain filling can deteriorate the physicochemical properties of starch in late-season indica rice cultivars by disrupting starch multilevel structure, especially upon LT + LL. In particular, while poor-quality cultivar had poorer physicochemical properties, the good-quality cultivar had poorer thermal properties under LT + LL.

Abstract
To understand differences in the quality of different conventional japonica rice varieties and variations in metabolites related to rice quality, the quality of three conventional japonica varieties was determined, and the metabolites of the milled rice were investigated using nontargeted metabolomics technology. The results showed that the taste value (TV) of Yangda 4Hao (YD4) was significantly higher than that of Yangda 3Hao (YD3) and Huaidao 5Hao (HD5). The protein content (PC) of HD5 was significantly higher than that of YD3 and YD4. PC was significantly negatively correlated with TV. Ninety-one differential metabolites (59 increased and 32 decreased) were identified between YD3 and HD5. A total of 144 differential metabolites (96 upregulated and 48 downregulated) were identified between YD4 and HD5. A total of 114 differential metabolites (40 increased and 74 decreased) were identified between YD3 and YD4. The metabolites with a high correlation to rice quality were mostly involved in the amino acid metabolism pathway. Amino acid metabolites play an important role in the formation of rice quality. The key metabolites in the synthesis and regulation of metabolic pathways are sucrose, levan, and amylose, which are carbohydrates, and L-glutamine, L-aspartic acid, and L-asparagine, which are amino acid metabolites. It can be seen from this study that the metabolites of sucrose, levan, amylose, L-glutamine, L-aspartic acid, and L-asparagine may be the key metabolites in the quality formation of high-quality rice varieties.

Abstract
Development of whole rice with low glycaemic index has been achieved, however, these rices are frequently associated with a poor texture property. Recent advances in terms of understanding the importance of starch fine molecular structures on the starch digestibility/texture of cooked whole rice have shed new insights on mechanisms of starch digestibility and texture from molecular levels. With an extensive discussion on the correlative and causal relationships among starch molecular structure, texture and starch digestibility of cooked whole rice, this review identified desirable starch fine molecular structures contributing to both slow starch digestibility and preferable textures. For instance, the selection of rice variety having more amylopectin intermediate chains while less amylopectin long chains might help develop cooked whole rice with both slower starch digestibility and softer texture. The information could help rice industry transform cooked whole rice into a healthier food product with slow starch digestibility and desirable texture.

Abstract
Recently, the rising incidence of natural catastrophe has increased the disaster preparedness, aiming to mitigate its devastating effect. Developing an emergency food is one of meaningful attempts to rise the preparedness. This research aimed to determine the best formula of ready-to-eat rice in retort pouch packaging accepted by consumers, and to determine the operating time to reach a lethality value (F0) to meet the commercial shelf-stable food requirements as an emergency food. The thermal process adequacy (F0) was used to determine the commercial shelf-stable products according to Indonesian regulation. The results showed that the determination of ready-to-eat rice was dependent on the ratio of rice and water. The most accepted product was determined according to quality attributes and organoleptic tests applied to meet the criteria for emergency food, namely color, flavor, and texture and best perceived by consumers. A formula with 140 g of half-cooked rice and 60 g of water was attributed to the best sample, having hardness of 7305.45 gf, elasticity of 36.40%, gumminess of 2185.720 gf, and adhesiveness of -167.975 g.s. In terms of microbiological quality, the TPC for the half-cooked rice sample reached 7.2×107 CFU/mL, while cooked rice in retort pouch packaging was <25 CFU/mL. Using heat distribution curve, heating at 110°C produced a come up time (CUT) after 40 min. Furthermore, the F0 value was 4.12 which was in accordance with the Indonesian regulation.

Abstract
Whole white rice is a major staple food for human consumption, with its starch digestion rate and location in the gastrointestinal tract having a critical role for human health. Starch has a multi-scale structure, which undergoes order-disorder transitions during rice cooking, and this structure is a major determinant of its digestibility. The length distributions of amylose and amylopectin chains are important determinants of rice starch gelatinization properties. Starch chain-length and molecular-size distributions are important determinants of nucleation and crystal growth rates, as well as of intra- and intermolecular interactions during retrogradation. A number of first-order kinetics models have been developed to fit starch digestograms, producing new information on the structural basis for starch digestive characteristics of cooked whole rice. Different starch digestible fractions with distinct digestion patterns have been found for the digestion of rice starch in fully gelatinized and retrograded states, the digestion kinetics of which are largely determined by starch fine molecular structures. Current insights and future directions to better understand digestibility of starch in whole cooked rice are summarized, pointing to ways of developing whole rice into a healthier food by way of having slower starch digestibility.

Abstract
Texture and aroma are two important attributes for the eating quality of cooked rice, but their mutual relations are not clear. Cooked rice with a desirable texture might suffer from a deteriorated aroma property. To better understand the relations between texture and aroma, six different rice varieties with desirable eating qualities have been selected, with their texture and aroma profile characterized by a texture analyzer and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry, respectively. A large variance of textural attributes and a total number of 39 major volatile organic components were observed for these cooked rice varieties. Pearson correlation showed that the hardness of cooked rice was positively correlated with the content of E-2-hexenal, 2-hexanol-monomer, 1-propanol, and E-2-pentenal, while stickiness was positively correlated with 5-methyl-2-furanmethanol and dimethyl trisulfide. Possible underneath mechanisms were discussed for these relations. These results could help the rice industry to develop rice products with both desirable texture and aroma property.
