Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through observations of the surface morphology, the present study investigated the mechanism underlying the reduction in the gloss of cooked rice during refrigerated storage. After 12 h of storage, the gloss of the cooked rice had decreased by approximately 64%. From SEM observations, hills and valleys several hundred nanometers in height or depth had gradually formed on the surface of the cooked rice during this 12-h period of storage, which affected the gloss of the surface. The fractal dimension of the SEM image was calculated and found to decrease during storage. The 17° peak area of XRD and the scattering intensity of SAX of the cooked rice increased during storage. These results suggest that the reduction in the gloss of cooked rice during refrigerated storage was caused by the appearance of hills and valleys on the cooked rice grains because starch had aggregated in the vicinity of the surface.
