Physico-chemical characterization of selected scented rice (Oriza sativa) varieties/genotypes

The present investigation was undertaken the Physico-chemical Characterization of some scented rice (Oriza sativa) varieties/genotypes.at the laboratory of department of agricultural biochemistry, Chandra shekhar azad university of agriculture and technology, Kanpur (U.P.) during the year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized design with three replications and ten treatments. The result of an experiment on various physical characteristics of scented rice varieties, among which scented rice varieties are Tarawati Basmati, super Basmati, Basmati-1509,Basmati-370, PB-1, Ramraj, Doobraj, Kalmuhi, kalanamak, Type-3. Physical Parameter In various Scented rice, the highest Test weight (21.22%) in Tarawati Basmati, hulling % is (76.78%) in Super Basmati, Milling % (64.07%) in Super Basmai and HRR (57.79%) in Super basmati and in chemical composition, the highest starch % is (77.14%) in Basmati-1509 and protein% is (7.98%) in Basmati-1509. In respect to hulling%, Milling % and HRR super basmati are significantly better then all scented varieties and in respect to Protein % and Starch% Basmati- 1509 are found significantly better then all Scented rice varieties.
