Rice Testing

Rice contains about 75% carbohydrate, 7%-8% protein, 1.3%-1.8% fat, and is rich in B vitamins. Starch is the mainly carbohydrate in rice, while rice gluten is the mainly protein, followed by glutenin and globulin. The bio-price and amino acid composition ratio of protein is higher than wheat, barley, millet, corn and other cereal crops. The digestibility is 66.8%-83.1%, which is also the highest of cereal proteins. Therefore, eating rice has a higher nutritional value. As the daily staple food of people, broken rice, imperfect grain, maximum amount of impurities, pesticide residue, water, yellow rice, mutual mixture, cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury and other testing items are all important indicators for rice detection.
