Rice is one of the principal cereals used by the world's inhabitants. The hope for improved nourishment of the world's population depends on the development of better rice varieties and improved methods for rice production and utilization. During the past four decades, interest in rice research and production has increased in many countries. The development of new and better varieties by the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and other rice research institutes has stimulated numerous research stations to test the performance of these varieties in many countries under different climates, soil properties, cultural practices, and environmental conditions. The methods of harvesting, handling, drying, and milling rough rice have improved as a result of research efforts by the engineers and the rice milling industries. The first edition of Rice: Production and Utilization was published in 1980. This second edition presents the recent developments and progress made by the researchers, the industries, and various experiment stations. Because of the large amounts of literature available in recent years on rice production and utilization, this edition is divided into two volumes, Volume 1: Production and Volume II: Utilization. It is hoped that the books will be useful to rice researchers, processors, and people interested in rice production and utilization. Those studying v vi PREFACE the agronomy of rice plants, especially the genetics, breeding, cultivation, diseases, and insects that attack both the rice plant and the stored grain, will find this edition helpful in their search for new knowledge.
During the 10 years that have passed since the first edition of Rice: Production and Utilization was published in 1980, much new information on processing and utilization of rice cereal has apeared in the liter ature. The 15 chapters of Volume 2 cover rice flours in baking, rice e nrichment, parboiled rice, rice quality and grades, quick-cooking rice, canning, freezing and freeze-drying rice breakfast cereals and baby foods, fermented rice products, rice snack foods, rice vinegar, rice h ulls, rice oil, and rice bran. A chapter on the nutritional quality of rice endosperm is also presented.
Discusses current Rice Economics Research and Extension Programs; Rice Economics Publications and Presentations 1982-present and in review &/or revision; graduate and undergraduate students working on rice economics topics; Ag Economics Extension and Research faculty with rice related programs; and Department of Agricultural Economics' strategic plan and administrative team. Over 100 tables.
