Comparing texture and digestion properties between white and brown rice of indica cultivars preferred by Chinese consumers

Abstract The consumption of good tasting rice, mainly soft-textured white rice with low amylose content, has substantially increased in China as living standards improve. However, this diet change may increase the risk of developing type II diabetes because the soft-textured white rice is generally...
