The quality of rice, especially its taste, depends on its variety, production area, cultivation method,
There are a wide variety of factors, including those determined by production methods such as harvesting methods, those determined at post-harvest processing stages such as drying, storage, and milling, and those affected during rice cooking. It is said that the biggest influence on the production stage is the production stage, followed by the variety.

Traditionally, rice taste evaluation involves cooking white rice, having multiple expert examiners eat the cooked rice, and comparing various aspects such as the appearance, aroma, taste, stickiness, and hardness of the rice to be evaluated. This is done through a so-called sensory test, in which rice is repeatedly tested to see how superior or inferior it is to the standard rice used as the basis for evaluation, and the average value is taken.

In recent years, the composition and physical and chemical properties of rice have been scientifically measured and analyzed, and the correlation between them and the taste evaluation values obtained in the aforementioned sensory tests has been investigated, and finally, the scientifically obtained measured values. As a result of research that attempts to evaluate the quality of rice, it has been found that among the components that make up rice, those that are particularly important in evaluating the quality of rice are amylose and amylopectin, which make up the starch of rice. It is becoming clear that the ratio, protein content and water content.

Next, we will explain how the content of each component that makes up rice affects its taste. -Koshihikari and Sasanishiki are popular brands of rice with good taste in Japan. - As an example, Table 1 shows a comparison of the protein content and amylose content of starch in several brands of white rice, including Koshihikari and Sasanishiki, with standard milling levels. . Note that the content of each component of the same brand is not always the same as shown in Table 1, and may vary depending on the geological conditions (soil quality, water quality) of the region where it was grown, and the meteorological conditions (temperature, sunshine hours,
It goes without saying that the content of each component changes slightly depending on the amount of rainfall, etc. From Table 1, Koshihikari and Sasanishiki have lower protein content and lower amylose content in starch than other general brands of rice.

Table 1 (Protein content indicates weight ratio; amylose content indicates ratio to 100% starch.) As mentioned above, protein content and amylose content ratio in starch have a large effect on the taste of rice. Apart from this, the moisture content of white rice also has a great effect on the taste, as it relates to the viscosity and hardness of the rice.

If the moisture content of white rice is around 15%, the rice will not crack even when soaked in water and will be cooked into perfect rice grains. Water absorption progresses rapidly from the ventral side of polished rice (where there are relatively many intercellular spaces for water to penetrate) to the endosperm, causing instantaneous cracks due to the volume strain caused by the difference in water content with the dorsal side (where the intercellular spaces are extremely small). When rice is raised and cooked, starch particles blow out from the cracks, resulting in sticky, low-quality rice that is neither chewy nor sticky.

また、砕米も同様に一気に吸水するのでべたついた米飯
に炊き上がり、しかも米飯が崩れているため噛み応えも
粘りもない低品質の米飯となることが知られている。
It is also known that broken rice similarly absorbs water all at once, resulting in sticky cooked rice, and the rice is crumbly, resulting in low-quality cooked rice that lacks chewiness and stickiness.

On the other hand, rice producers tend to supply rice that is too dry because they are overly concerned about exceeding the government's upper limit of 15% for moisture testing. It is known that 0.5% to 1.0% of water is lost from rice grains.

Therefore, humidity control is performed by bringing rice grains (brown rice, white rice) into contact with water (steam) to maintain the moisture content of the rice grains at 15%. However, in old rice and rice that has a poor taste, the intercellular spaces are narrow, and even when soaked, water cannot be absorbed into every corner of the rice grain.
When the rice is cooked, the degree of gelatinization is low, resulting in rice with poor taste.
