The objectives of this study were to determine if there are distinguishable differences in sensory properties of premium and second best varieties and whether these differences are common to premium varieties. Color, an important sensory property, was determined on the raw and cooked rice using a colorimeter.
What is the difference between steamed rice and boiled rice? Is there really a difference? Rice is a staple food in Asia and Africa. It has been consumed since ancient times. There are two main types of rice: white rice and brown rice. White rice is polished or parboiled before being cooked. Brown rice is unrefined or unpolished.
Bring the water to a boil and pour in the rice (no need to rinse). Give it a stir so that the rice is covered by the water, put a lid on the pan and cook for 20 minutes on the lowest heat on your smallest burner - if using gas. Go for a low-medium temperature for induction. 900 ml (3 ¾ cups) water, 540 g (2 ½ cups) long grain rice. To steam on the stovetop, allow the water and rice to come to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover partially with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. If all of the water has not been absorbed, steam for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, checking often. Artemide black rice similarly showed no significant differences in protein content after both types of cooking (average 10.4% vs. 10.5% for raw rice), while total dietary fiber significantly decreased compared with raw rice (7.9 vs. 10.8%), probably because cooking led to the partial degradation and release of some fiber components.
