Rice: Chemistry and Technology, Fourth Edition, is a fully revised update of the successful third edition, published by AACC International. The content is organized into four main sections:

• Rice grain structure and its main compositional components, along with the biotechnological and genetic basis of recent progress in rice chemistry

• Aspects of rice grain quality, such as visual appearance, milling, cooking, and sensory quality, discussed in the context of rice as a staple food

• Advances in processing technologies for rice, emphasizing key postharvest handling steps, such as drying and storage

• Rice as an ingredient in traditional and new food products and the use of rice hulls and straw as adsorbents, biofuels, and so forth

Key features of the book are as follows:

• Outlines the nutritional and health benefits of rice

• Covers the growing and harvesting of rice crops

• Includes the use of rice and rice by-products beyond its primary use as a staple food

• Explains rice chemistries, including sections on starch, protein, and lipids

Edited by an internationally recognized scientist, Jinsong Bao, and written by experts from across the world, this new edition will be of interest to both academic and public-sector researchers working in all aspects of rice production and improvement—from genetics and breeding to storage and distribution. This new edition will also be essential reading for those in the food industry tasked with the development of new rice-based products.

Rice: Chemistry and Technology, Fourth Edition, has been produced through AACC International’s partnership with Elsevier, one of the world’s leading scientific publishers.
