Rapid Visco Analyzer Measurements of japonica Rice Cultivars to Study Interrelationship between Pasting Properties and Farming System

Table 3

Amylographic characteristics (cP) of rice cultivars as affected by treatments (conventional or organic).

Properties	Treatment
	Organic	Conventional
PkT (min)	6.7a	6.6b
PT (°C)	71.6b	71.8a
P	4382a	4249b
HP	2939a	2784b
BD	1443a	1465a
CP	4318a	4109b
CON	1380a	1325b
SB	−63a	−140b

PkT: peak time; PT: pasting temperature; P: peak viscosity; HP: hot paste viscosity; BD: breakdown viscosity (P-HP); CP: cool-paste viscosity; CON: consistency viscosity (CP-HP); SB: setback viscosity (CP-P). Values for each parameter followed by a different letter within each row are significantly different, (Duncan’s Multiple Range Test).
