mixtures <strong>of</strong> 70 mg waxy rice flour (amylopectin), 10 mg amylose +<br />

60 mg waxy rice, 20 mg amylose + 50 mg waxy rice, 25 mg amylose +<br />

45 mg waxy rice, and 30 mg amylose + 40 mg waxy rice in 100 ml 0.09<br />

N NaOH. Undefatted check samples could be used for the c<strong>al</strong>ibration<br />

curve <strong>of</strong> undefatted milled rice. Results were expressed on a dry<br />

weight basis.<br />

Reagents:<br />

NaOH, 1 N. Forty grams anhydrous NaOH were dissolved in<br />

1 liter <strong>of</strong> distilled H 2 O.<br />

NaOH, 0.09 N. Nine milliliters 1 N NaOH were diluted into<br />

100 ml with distilled H 2 O.<br />

Ac<strong>et</strong>ic acid, 1 N. Glaci<strong>al</strong> ac<strong>et</strong>ic acid (57.75 ml) was dissolved in<br />

distilled H 2 O in a 1-liter volum<strong>et</strong>ric flask and made up to volume.<br />

Iodine solution 0.2% I 2 in 2% KI. Two grams iodine and 20 g KI<br />

were dissolved in distilled water in a 1-liter volum<strong>et</strong>ric flask and made<br />

up to volume.<br />

In the study, AC was classified as waxy 0-5.0%, very low 5.1-12.0%,<br />

low 12.1-20.0%, intermediate 20.1-25.0%, and high >25.0% to <strong>al</strong>low for<br />

nonwaxy contamination <strong>of</strong> waxy rice.<br />

The m<strong>et</strong>hod <strong>of</strong> Little <strong>et</strong> <strong>al</strong> (1958) was used. Six whole-grain, milled rice<br />

samples were placed in duplicate square plastic boxes (R.P. Cargille<br />

Laboratories, Inc., 4.6 × 4.6 × 1.9 cm) containing 10 ml <strong>of</strong> 1.7% KOH,<br />

arranged so that the grains did not touch each other. The boxes were<br />

covered and incubated for 23 h at 30 °C. <strong>Grain</strong> appearance and disintegration<br />

were visu<strong>al</strong>ly rated after incubation, based on the following<br />

numeric<strong>al</strong> sc<strong>al</strong>e:<br />

Check samples with scores <strong>of</strong> 2-7 were run with each an<strong>al</strong>ysis. A rating<br />

<strong>of</strong> 5.5-7.0 was classified in this study as low fin<strong>al</strong> gelatinization temperature<br />

(55-69 °C); 3.5-5.4, intermediate (70-74 °C); 2.6-3.4, intermediate-high;<br />

and 1.0-2.5, high (74.5-80 °C).<br />
