Chalkiness quantification of rice kernel samples with different chalkiness types
| samples | VG (mm3) | VC (mm3) | CD-3D (%) | CD-2D (%) | Significance between 3D and 2D methods |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| white-belly | 9.96 | 0.54 | 5.4 | 18.8 | ** |
| white-core | 7.91 | 0.42 | 5.3 | 15.6 | ** |
| white-whole | 13.65 | 13.65 | 100 | 98.7 | NS |
| white-back | 14.06 | 0.79 | 5.6 | 9.9 | ** |
Note: VG (mm3) and VC (mm3) respectively represented the volume of grain and chalkiness detected by 3D method. CD-3D (%) and CD-2D (%) respectively represented the chalkiness degree detected by 3D method and 2D method. ** represented that the difference was extremely significant. NS represented “not significant”
