Hallo, i am working for rice grain quality and nutrition. As we know rice variety has different taste. Some are accepted by the consumer some are not. Any idea how i can differentiate taste or where i can find the appropriate procedure for analysis. Usually we are doing sensory evaluation for taste.
Thank you! Could you please tale me is anyone doing this type of work and also the contact address.
Sharifa- You can consult a book Sensory evaluation by Stone & Sidel for basics.
Furthermore, if you can conduct sensory evaluation correctly, you can distinguish among rice samples. Consider, rice texture (soft/hard), color, flavor etc.
Hi Dipti, we have already discussed this in great details during our chat conversation. In addition, I would like to advise you to watch out for this book, which will come out very soon:

There will be a review book chapter entitled: "Improving Rice Grain Quality: State-of-the-Art and Future Prospects". It will discuss traditional, conventional and cutting-edge methods employed in textural, taste and aroma profiling as well as sensory evaluation. There will be a few methods chapter of interest.
Dear Sharifa Sultana Dipti,
You can also study the sensory evaluation of animal products. That also might be helpful for you.
Thank you
