For food japonica, which differ in various morphological, nurtrition and health concerns, the genotype of health benefits of physiological, and life history traits [7]. These two subspecies whole grain consumption after storage should firmed. are also partially reproductively isolated and provide a unique However, little is known about its antioxidant properties and opportunity to study divergence associated with speciation. ponents following storage. The objectives of During storage, a number of physicochemical and this study were to evaluate totle phenolics and the antioxidant physiological changes occur, including pasting properties, properties of indica-japonica genotype rice. The results showed colour, flavour, position affect rice quality[8]. There that total phenolics content were increased after long time are different storability in different subspecies of rice [9].
