A significant varietal effect was found for all these parameters (P〈 0.05 or 0.01) except starch. Strong variety x season interactions were observed but the seasonal effect was less pronounced, and only significant (P〈0.01) for RS. The apparent amylose content (AAC) office flakes was significantly correlated (P〈0.01) with AAC (r=0.99) and several RVA profile parameters [e.g., final viscosity (r=0.92)] of rice flour. For rice flakes, BD was significantly correlated with AAC (r=0.82, P〈0.01) and most RVA profile parameters. The study indicates that varietal and environmental effects should be considered simultaneously for optimal production of rice grains for rice flakes manufacturing.展开更多
