Nádvorníková, Martina ; Banout, Jan (advisor) ; Fraňková, Adéla (referee)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate physical properties of eight staple rice
cultivars grown and consumed in Kyrgyzstan. The objective was to record and discuss
values of several analysis in sub-sections of basic physical characteristics, textural
characteristics, mechanical characteristics and cooking properties. The physical
properties investigated seed dimensions, equivalent diameter, surface area of the grain,
sphericity, aspect ratio, volume of the grain, bulk and solid density, porosity, thousand
kernel weight, hardness of the grain, colour characteristic, optimum cooking time and
water uptake ratio. Those analysis were performed in the laboratory of Czech University
of Life Sciences and given methodology was strictly followed.
