Anotace:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate physical properties of eight staple ricecultivars grown and consumed in Kyrgyzstan. The objective was to record and discussvalues of several analysis in sub-sections of basic physical characteristics, texturalcharacteristics, mechanical characteristics and cooking properties. The physicalproperties investigated seed dimensions, equivalent diameter, surface area of the grain,sphericity, aspect ratio, volume of the grain, bulk and solid density, porosity, thousandkernel weight, hardness of the grain, colour characteristic, optimum cooking time andwater uptake ratio. Those analysis were performed in the laboratory of Czech Universityof Life Sciences and given methodology was strictly followed.
