Rice quality is considered to the five categories; the characteristics of cooking, eating and processing; grain size, shape and appearance; milling yields; and storage characteristics. Because most rice is processed and consumed in whole-kernel form, the cooking and eating quality is of importance and the physical properties of the intact kernel such as size, shape and general appearance are of particular significance in determining marketing quality. Eating quality which can be directly evaluated by consumer's panel test is so complicate and variable, and thus the objective and simplified method of evaluation is required of using appropriate instruments. Even though many researches have been done to evaluate the eating quality in various aspects such as the texture of cooked rice kernels, amylogram analysis of rice powder, amylose content, gelatinization temperature, moisture absorption of rice kernel, and cooking characteristics, none of them is satisfied for the evaluation of eating quality. The improving eating quality should be also considered to many cultural factors, such as varieties, climatic and soil conditions, cultural method, handling after harvest, millig and storage conditions.
