| Aim of this research was to investigate physical characters and some chemical characters of northeast local rice grain of Thailand. Physical characters were studied in term of weight, width and size of seed and dehusked seed including elongation rate and water absorption rate of 15 rice cultivars (cv.). Chemical test were checked by protein content, amylose content, lipid content, carbohydrate content, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3 and vitamin B6 content. The result showed that the longest seed of 15 cv. was Jowluang, 10.82 and 7.81 mm. in seed and dehusked seed, respectively. In contrast, cv. Kowjowhangmuyai (GS no: 554) showed the shortest seed and dehusked seed was 7.68 and 5.29 mm, respectively. The largest seed and dehusked seed were found in... |
