| contents | <div>Qualities of some selected rice varieties sold in the main markets of Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State where rice is mostly grown and consumed in the south-western part of Nigeria was investigated. Rice (Aroso, Mokwa, Royal niger, Orlam and Ofada rice) were evaluated for their physical, chemical properties and sensory qualities using established laboratory procedures. The average width of the rice ranged from “0.261 to 0.268 mm”, “0.260 to 0.265 mm, “0.260 to 0.262 mm”, “0.269 to 0.270 mm”, and 0.271 to 0.275 mm” respectively. The rice average lengths ranged between “0.346 to 0.350 mm”, “0.365 to 0.368 mm”, “0.356 to 0.359 mm”, “0.357 to 0.357 mm” and “0.365 to 0.379 mm” respectively. The physical appearance of the rice investigated ranged from good to very good except for mokwa and orlam rice which shows fair colours. Chemical properties of the rice samples ranged from 10.21 to 11.97%, 0.83 to 2.62, 1.89 to 2.16%, 0.24 to 0.37%, 5.50 to 7.56%, 77.89 to 79.60%, 59.90 to 65.17%, 12.15 to 14.61% and 85.39 to 87.85% for moisture, total ash, fat, crude fibre, crude protein, carbohydrate, starch, amylose and amylopectin contents respectively. The cooking properties ranged from 2 to 7.5, 230 to 250% and 5.49 to 5.64 in length and 0.689 to 1.337mm for volume expansion ratio, water uptake and elongation ratio respectively. This study revealed that Aroso and Orlam rice were of excellent in physical, chemical, sensory qualities and are both recommended for consumption. This research finding serves as a basis of choice for consumers and it also reveals the areas for improvement in terms of qualities of the local rice investigated.</div> |
