The investigation was designed to ascertain if caned rice continued to lose solids upon storage and what effect, if any, cross-linking had on the kernel stability during storage. The study revealed that rice continued to lose a substantial amount of solids on storage, which was accelerated by acidic pH levels. In the case of cross-linked rice, however, acidic pH conditions resulted in slightly less leaching than under neutral conditions. The cross-linked samples were considerably more stable to room-temperature (25 C) storage than their unmodified counterparts.
