La cercosporiose due à Cercospora oryzae est un champignon pouvant causer des pertes allant jusqu'à 60%. Elle est de plus en plus fréquente en Afrique de l'Ouest. Les premières prospections réalisées au sud du Bénin ont indiqué que Cercospora oryzae a une contribution large puisqu’elle a affectée 85% des champs de riz des trois zones agroécologiques du sud Bénin. Cette étude vise principalement à contribuer à la connaissance détaillée des effets de Cercospora oryzae sur les grains afin d’optimiser la conservation, la commercialisation et la production. Elle a consistée a : i) évaluer les effets de Cercospora oryzae sur le pouvoir germinatif des grains, ii) évaluer les effets de Cercospora oryzae sur le développement de la ternissure. L’étude a combiné des outils physiologiques et phytiatriques. Au terme des travaux, les variétés testées ont enregistré une bonne teneur en eau pour un minimum de 6%, ainsi qu’un bon taux de germination. A la fin de l’étude nous avons pu constater que Cerocpora oryzae entrainait une baisse du pouvoir germinatif des grains, une altération de la graine blanche et une décoloration de l’enveloppe. Ces résultats constituent une étape d’un travail de recherche approfondi sur la caractérisation (agronomique et génétique) de Cercospora oryzae afin de proposer des méthodes de luttes. Mots clés : Pouvoir germinatif, décoloration, altération, Cercospora oryzae, riz.   English Title: Study of the effect of Cercospora oryzae Miyake on the quality of rice grains and the development of tarnishSigatoka caused by Cercospora oryzae is a fungus that can cause losses up to 60%. It is more and more frequent in West Africa. The first surveys carried out in the south of Benin indicated that Cercospora oryzae has a large contribution since affected 85% of the rice fields of the three agroecological zones of southern Benin. The main objective of this study is to contribute to detailed knowledge of the effects of Cercospora oryzae on grains in order to optimize conservation, marketing and production. It consisted in: i) evaluating the effects of Cercospora oryzae on the germination power of the grains, ii) evaluating the effects of Cercospora oryzae on the development of tarnish. The study combined physiological and phytiatric tools. At the end of the work, the varieties tested recorded a good water content for a minimum of 6%, as well as a good germination rate. At the end of the study we could see that Cerocpora oryzae did not cause a drop in the germinative power of the grains but rather resulted in an alteration of the white seed and a discoloration of the envelope. These results constitute a stage of an in-depth research work on the characterization (agronomic and genetic) of Cercospora oryzae in order to propose methods of struggle.Keywords: Germination, discoloration, deterioration, Cercospora oryzae, rice.

A photoacoustic (PA) signal of an ideal optical absorbing particle is a single N-shape wave. PA signals are a combination of several individual N-shape waves. However, the N-shape wave basis leads to aliasing between adjacent micro-structures, which deteriorates the quality of final PA images. In this paper, we propose an image optimization method by processing raw PA signals with deconvolution and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). During the deconvolution procedure, the raw PA signals are de-convolved with a system dependent deconvolution kernel, which is measured in advance. EMD is subsequently adopted to further process the PA signals adaptively with two restrictive conditions: positive polarity and spectrum consistency. With this method, signal aliasing is alleviated, and the micro-structures and detail information, previously buried in the reconstructing images, can now be revealed. To validate our proposed method, numerical simulations and phantom studies are implemented, and reconstructed images are used for illustration.

More than half the world's people consume rice every day and fulfills over 21% calorific requirement of world population. It is considered the whole grain which is rich in fiber and it contains 80 percent with protein, phosphorus, and potassium. There are hundreds of different varieties of rice and each rice grain has a unique shape, texture, and flavor that make it just right for certain dishes. The quality of rice between various types has different standards. Therefore, you must select the best quality rice because rice with best quality is not only good for consumption but also good for health. Analyzing grain sample manually is a tedious task and also time consuming. The paper presents the solution to analysis and grading of rice grains using image processing techniques. Image reduction, image enhancement, and image increment, object recognition in spatial domain is applied on grain by grain of different samples of rice to determine its size, color and quality as whole to grade the grain of rice. We find the endpoints of each grains and after we measure the length and breadth of rice grains.

Neste sentido, objetivou-se avaliar, com a realização do presente estudo, a qualidade industrial de grãos de dois cultivares de arroz irrigado em função de épocas de supressão da irrigação e graus de umidade à colheita. O experimento foi realizado nas safras 2011/12 e 2012/13 na área didático experimental de várzea da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Os tratamentos foram compostos de: dois cultivares: o híbrido INOV CL e o cultivar Puitá INTA CL; quatro épocas de supressão da irrigação: 5, 15, 25 e 35 dias após a antese (DAA); e cinco graus de umidade média dos grãos na colheita: 24, 22, 20, 18 e 16%. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições por tratamento. O cultivar Puitá INTA CL apresenta superior qualidade em relação a grãos inteiros, vítreos, gessados e opacos ao híbrido INOV CL. A umidade adequada dos grãos à colheita para ambos cultivares ocorre no intervalo de 24 a 20%. A supressão de irrigação não interfere na qualidade de grãos inteiros, vítreos, opacos e gessados. Palavras-Chave: beneficiamento; grão inteiro; grão gessado; grão opaco; Oryza sativa L.  LONDERO, G.

ABSTRACT The fungistatic activity, especially during storage, can lead to rapid deterioration in the nutritional quality of grains, and reduce their use and disposal in industrial process due to contamination with toxins (aflatoxins and others). Among the technologies identified as promising in controlling these microorganisms, there is ozonation. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration and the saturation time of ozone gas in rice grains and set the effective ozonation disinfection time in filamentous fungi and yeast. Rice grains (14.3% w.b.) were inoculated with Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp. and, subsequently, ozonized at the concentration of 10.13 mg L-1, under continuous flow of 1.0 L min-1, in five periods of exposure (12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 h). Ozone gas concentration and saturation time in rice grains were 5.00 mg L-1 and 13.97 min, respectively. There was a reduction of 3.8 log cycles (100%) in the count of yeasts and complete inhibition of fungal from the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium in ozonized grains.

Зерновые энергетические батончики, пользующиеся большим спросом у потребителей, удобны для введения в рацион полезных для здоровья питательных веществ и функциональных соединений. Исследовано влияние базовых компонентов – взорванных зерен риса, амаранта и киноа на содержание белка, жира, общего пищевого волокна, показатели твердости и общей приемлемости в зерновых энергетических батончиках. Установлено, что содержание белка и жира в образцах батончиков повышалось по мере увеличения в их составе доли зерен киноа и амаранта. Повышение содержания жира привело к снижению содержания углеводов в составе зерновых батончиков. Образцы изготовленных батончиков в зависимости от соотношения зерновых компонентов могут содержать до 7,76% клетчатки, что позволяет классифицировать такое изделие как функциональный пребиотический продукт. Добавление волокнистых ингредиентов влияет на текстуру продукта, повышает твердость, улучшая жевательность и адгезию. Показатель общей приемлемости изготовленных образцов зерновых батончиков варьировал от 5 до 7,9 баллов при 9-балльной оценке. Самую высокую оценку получил образец с равным содержанием в рецептуре взорванных зерен киноа, амаранта и риса, а также отмечены образцы с более высоким содержанием (66,67%) взорванных зерен киноа и амаранта. Grain energy bars, which are in high demand among consumers, are convenient for introducing healthy nutrients and functional compounds into the diet. The influence of the basic components – blasted rice grains, amaranth and quinoa on the protein, fat content, total dietary fiber, hardness, and overall acceptability in grain energy bars was studied. It was found that the content of protein and fat in the samples of bars increased as the proportion of quinoa and amaranth grains in their composition increased. The increase in fat content led to a decrease in the carbohydrate content of cereal bars. Samples of manufactured bars, depending on the ratio of grain components, can contain up to 7,76% fiber, which allows us to classify such a product as a functional prebiotic product. The addition of fibrous ingredients affects the texture of the product, improving the hardness, chewiness and adhesion. The overall acceptability of the manufactured samples of grain bars ranged from 5 to 7,9 points with a 9-point rating. The highest rating was given to a sample with an equal content of exploded quinoa, amaranth and rice grains in the formulation, and samples with a higher content (66,67%) of exploded quinoa and amaranth grains were also noted.
