Protein content, AC, GT (<strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue), GC, Amylograph<br />
viscosity, cooked rice hardness and stickiness, and grain length and<br />
width vary widely for each location. Actu<strong>al</strong> consumer demand an<strong>al</strong>yses<br />
<strong>of</strong> country samples and surveys <strong>of</strong> qu<strong>al</strong>ity preferences by nation<strong>al</strong><br />
programs are needed to verify and fully describe the rice grain qu<strong>al</strong>ity<br />
prized in each location.<br />
The mean protein for 230 samples <strong>of</strong> wild rices is 11.9%. This is<br />
much higher than that <strong>of</strong> cultivated rice (Table 11). High AC, low GT,<br />
and s<strong>of</strong>t GC predominate.<br />
