<strong>Juliano</strong> 1991). Milled rice protein was 5.5-8.8% (6.9% mean). Raw rice<br />

was cheaper than parboiled rice. Carnaroli was an exception (intermediate<br />

AC, hard GC); it had a higher r<strong>et</strong>ail price than even parboiled<br />

rices.<br />

Medium and short grains predominated over long grains, and<br />

medium shape over bold (Appendix). It<strong>al</strong>ian rices had intermediatelow<br />

AC, low GT, and mainly s<strong>of</strong>t GC (Table 7). The popular vari<strong>et</strong>y,<br />

Lido, had short, medium-shaped grain, intermediate AC, low GT, and<br />

s<strong>of</strong>t GC (Appendix). Arborio (long, medium-shaped) and B<strong>al</strong>illa (short,<br />

bold) had wider grains with white core or belly, intermediate AC, low<br />

GT, and s<strong>of</strong>t GC. Both gave s<strong>of</strong>ter cooked rice than Lido. Europa, Ringo,<br />

and Sant Andrea had medium size and shape, intermediate AC, and<br />

s<strong>of</strong>ter cooked rice than Lido.<br />

No rice had replaced the 24-25% AC Raffaello, which gave the<br />

hardest cooked rice, until Bonn<strong>et</strong> Bell, Carnaroli, and Elio were released.<br />

Among the tested It<strong>al</strong>ian vari<strong>et</strong>ies, Raffaello had the least sticky<br />

and hardest cooked rice; Padamo, the s<strong>of</strong>test cooked rice; Ringo and<br />

Sant Andrea, the stickiest (Mazzini <strong>et</strong> <strong>al</strong> 1990). Among the three 1990<br />

samples, long, medium-shaped grained Bonn<strong>et</strong> Bell and Carnaroli had<br />

intermediate AC; short, bold-grained Elio had high AC (Appendix).<br />

Cooked rice stickiness correlated significantly with cooked rice<br />

hardness (r = –0.80**, n = 11), Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back (r = –0.86**),<br />

consistency (r = –0.80**) and peak viscosity ( r = 0.63*), GC (r = 0.83**),<br />

and AC (r = –0.91**). Cooked rice hardness correlated with Amylograph<br />

s<strong>et</strong>back (r = 0.80**, n = 11) and consistency (r = 0.90**), grain<br />

width (r = –0.68**, n = 18), AC (r = 0.63**, n = 19), and GC (r = –0.53*).<br />

Gel consistency <strong>al</strong>so correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = –0.84**,<br />

n = 11), consistency (r = –0.94**) and peak viscosity (r = 0.60*), and AC<br />

(r = –0.55**, n = 29). Amylose content correlated with Amylograph peak<br />

viscosity (r = –0.81**, n = 19) and s<strong>et</strong>back (r = 0.63**), and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i<br />

spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue (r = 0.48**, n = 37). Protein content and grain length<br />

<strong>al</strong>so correlated (r = 0.84**, n = 10).<br />

produced 147,000 t <strong>of</strong> rough rice in 1989 (FAO 1990b).<br />

Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice was 16 kg in 1979-<br />

81 (FAO 1984) and 17 kg in 1986-88 (FAO 1990a). Two mark<strong>et</strong><br />

samples <strong>of</strong> loc<strong>al</strong> rices had 19-21% AC (RCMD 1987).<br />

Most Portuguese rices had medium or short size and medium or<br />

bold shape (Appendix). Portuguese rices had low-intermediate AC,<br />
