Main Food Source

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world, and about half of the world’s population uses it as the main food source. China’s annual rice output accounts for about 34% of the world’s annual rice output, ranking first in the world, thus China is known as the "Rice Kingdom". Rice has high nutritional value, providing the human body with 35% of the total energy intake and about 28% of the required protein. Therefore, the nutritional value of rice is directly related to human nutrition and health. In this paper, the three aspects of rice nutrition and human health, factors affecting rice nutritional quality and genetic improvement of nutritional quality of rice are reviewed. The new challenges of rice nutrition quality were analyzed, and the prospect of improving rice nutritional quality was prospected. The results provide theoretical basis for genetic improvement of rice nutrition quality and cultivation of new high-quality rice varieties in the future.

Adoption Intensity

The low adoption of new technologies, particularly improved seeds, remains a critical issue hampering the development of agriculture in many developing countries. The objective of this research is to identify the determinants of (i) the farmer’s knowledge,( ii) the adoption decision and (iii) the adoption intensity of NERICA rice varieties in the Togolese Savannah region. Probit and Tobit models were used to analyse data collected from 150 rice growers randomly selected. The results of the estimations showed that the knowledge, the adoption decision and the adoption intensity of NERICA are determined by socio-economic and institutional factors. The common factors affecting the knowledge, the adoption decision and the adoption intensity are credit access, extension service and gender. However, the adoption intensity is specifically affected by the rice income, the land ownership and the membership to a farmer’s base organization. These findings suggest the necessity to improve the agricultural credit access, the extension services access and to take gender into account in policies making in order to give men and women the same chances of access to innovations.

Diabetes Melitus

<p>Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disorder of glucose metabolism due to insulin deficiency both in absolute and relative terms caused by changes in dietary habits that result in obesity. Nationally in Indonesia, the prevalence of DM based on a doctor’s diagnosis in the population aged over or equal to 15 years is 2%. Consumption of rice with a low glycemic index is one way to regulate dietary patterns for people with type 2 diabetes. In Indonesia, rice varieties that have a low glycemic index (GI) value have been successfully identified. This paper aims to provide information and understanding of GI rice, influencing factors and strategies for developing rice with low GI. Some rice varieties that have low GI are include IR 36, Logawa, Batang Lembang, Ciherang, Cisokan, Margasari, Martapura, Air Tenggulang, Hipa 7, Inpari 12, Inpari 13, Situ Patenggang, Pandanwangi, Inpari 1, Beras Hitam Subang, Inpara 4. Factors affecting rice GI include rice varieties and amylose-amylopectin ratio, processing method, protein and fat, dietary fiber content and starch digestibility. The target of developing rice with a low GI is a community with a high prevalence of DM. While the development strategy is to strive so that rice varieties with a low GI that are beneficial to health can be regulated in the Ministry of Agriculture Regulation as part of special rice. Rice varieties with these advantages can be developed through the process of releasing varieties, followed by the certification process for Labelled Rice Variety Assurances (LRVA). The certification process aims to provide functional rice that has added value, has a high selling power for farmers and producers and guarantees the rights of consumers who consume it.</p><p>Keywords: Rice. glycemic index, diabetes melitus </p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p> Penyakit diabetes melitus (DM) merupakan gangguan metabolisme glukosa akibat kekurangan insulin, baik secara absolut maupun relatif yang disebabkan oleh perubahan kebiasaan pola makan yang mengakibatkan obesitas. Di Indonesia, prevalensi DM berdasarkan diagnosis dokter pada penduduk umur lebih dari atau sama dengan 15 tahun rata-rata 2%. Konsumsi beras dengan indeks glikemik rendah merupakan salah satu cara mengatur pola diet bagi para diabetesi tipe 2.

Faktor yang mempengaruhi IG beras antara lain varietas padi dan rasio amilosa-amilopektin, cara pengolahan, protein dan lemak, kadar serat pangan dan daya cerna pati. Sasaran pengembangan beras dengan IG rendah adalah masyarakat dengan prevalensi DM yang tinggi. Strategi pengembangannya adalah mengupayakan agar varietas padi dengan IG rendah yang bermanfaat untuk kesehatan dapat diatur dalam Permentan sebagai bagian dari beras khusus. Varietas padi dengan keunggulan tersebut dapat dikembangkan melalui proses pemutihan atau pelepasan varietas yang dilanjutkan dengan proses sertifikasi Beras Berlabel Jaminan Varietas (BBJV). Proses sertifikasi ini bertujuan agar beras-beras fungsional tersebut memperoleh nilai tambah, berdaya jual tinggi bagi petani dan menjamin hak konsumen yang mengonsumsi.</p><p>Kata kunci: Beras, indeks glikemik, diabetes melitus </p>

Development And Validation

Rice production depends on both producers’ and consumers’ preference. The consumption of rice depends on consumers’ taste and habits. The objectives of this study were to develop and validate mathematical models for producers’, consumers’ and producers-cum-consumers’ preference to rice varieties and to evaluate the factors affecting both producers’ and producer-cum-consumers’ decision on varieties for rice cultivation and can provide an indication of the factors affecting consumers’ preferences to rice varieties in Dhaka, Gazipur, Dinajpur and Bhola districts of Bangladesh. Chi-square (X2) tests were used to explore the significant difference of preferring rice varieties among the groups of people and compared the results with the proposed models for validation. Producers and producers-cum-consumers preferred BR11, BR22 and BRRI dhan32 in T. Aman; BR16, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 in Boro and BR9, BR16 and BR20 in Aus seasons respectively. The specific grain quality characteristics such as whiteness, brokens, shape, amylose (%), aroma, cooking quality, hardness and chalkiness influenced the consumers and producers preference. Furthermore, pure consumers also preferred rice varieties on the basis of its tastiness and fineness.Bangladesh Rice j. 2015, 19(1): 63-71
