To understand post-milling cracking and develop imaging methods to incorporate into quality tests performed at different stages in the rice processing industry.
• Cracked rice grain can break when milled, reducing post-milling quality and affecting the rice industry as a whole.
• Collaborative research between NSW DPI Yanco and SunRice aims to standardise crack measurement to support quality analysis throughout the supply chain.
• Research will focus on understanding why grain cracks to mitigate cracking and breakage and improve the crack-resistance of future varieties.
