Abstract

The effects of milling degree and type of bag on fungal infection of stored milled rice were investigated together
with some chemical contents (glucose, amylose, protein and total lipid contents), and changes in moisture content.
Rice var. IR 64 with different milling degrees (85, 90, 95 and 100%) packed in  jute and polypropylene bags (1 kg
of milled rice/bag) were stored under laboratory conditions with temperature between 24.3-27.3 C and relative humidity
52.6-81.9% for 3 months. The initial moisture content (m.c.) of milled rice was ± 14%. Three replications (3 bags) were
used for each treatment. Each bag was put individually and was arranged randomly on a wooden pallet.
The results showed that in general, the increase of milling degree and duration of storage decreased the m.c. Type
of bag did not give significant differences on the m.c. 
Twenty eight fungal species were isolated from rice with different milling degree and bag type during storage. The
predominant species was Aspergillus Candidas. Total fungal population decreased with  the  increase of milling degree
and duration of storage. Bag type did not give significant differences on total  fungal population.
In general, the increase of milling degree increased glucose content. Glucose content in milled rice packed in jute
bag was higher than that in polypropylene bag. Glucose content tended to decrease with the  increase of storage duration.
The increase of milling degree increased amylose content in milled rice. Amylose content of milled rice packed in
jute bag was lower than that in polypropylene bag. The increase of storage duration decreased amylose content in milled
rice.
In general, protein content decreased with the increase of milling degree and duration of storage. 1 type did not give
significant differences on protein content.
Total  lipid content decreased with  the  increase of milling degree and duration of storage. Total  lipid content of
milled rice packed in jute bag was lower than that in polypropylene bag, but based on chemical  analysis the difference
was not significant.
Based on statistical analyses, correlation between the m.c. and total lipid content with total fungal  population was
positive. There was no correlation between glucose, amylose and protein contents with total fungal population.
Rice with high milling degree can be stored safely for long period, but it has low chemical (nutritional) contents.
Key words:   Milling degree/Bag type/Fungal infection/Chemical content/Milled rice.
