Differences in Viscosity of Superior and Inferior Spikelets of Japonica Rice with

23

Varying Percentage Apparent Amylose Content

24

ABSTRACT: Viscosity, a crucial characteristic for rice palatability, is affected by

25

endosperm characters. We compared correlations between differences in viscosity of

26

japonica rice with varying palatability and endosperm characters. Changes in apparent

27

amylose and protein content (AAC and PC%, respectively), and amylopectin

28

side-chain distribution, and the relationship of these traits with palatability were

29

investigated in superior and inferior spikelets of good cultivars with low amylose

30

content from Hokkaido and common cultivars from northeastern Japan, using rapid

31

visco analyser characteristics and rice-grain microstructures. Significant differences

32

occurred in PC%, AAC%, breakdown, setback, peak time, and pasting temperature of

33

different cultivars and grain positions. Amylopectin components showed remarkable

34

differences in grain surfaces, surface layers, and section structure between the grain

35

varieties. Hokkaido cultivars showed better viscosity than northeastern cultivars,

36

particularly initial stage grains. Correlation analysis indicated viscosity was mainly

37

AAC%-dependent, whereas differences in endosperm characteristics between spikelet

38

positions were mainly due to grain-filling temperature.

INTRODUCTION

41

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a basic cereal crop and the primary staple food of over

42

half the world population, particularly in Asia. Therefore, its palatability is of great

43

importance. Rice is divided into the japonica and indica subspecies, which have 2

44

different palatability traits. Viscoelasticity is considered the determinant of rice

45

palatability. Japonica rice is known to have good viscosity and elasticity as well as

46

moderate hardness, which are characteristics related to endosperm composition1,2.

47

Starch, the basis of rice endosperm, has two main components: amylose and

48

amylopectin. The amylose content includes real amylose and extra-long unit chains of

49

amylopectin, which are measured using the iodine-blue colorimetric method and,

50

therefore, denoted as percentage apparent amylose content (AAC%)2,3. For japonica

51

cultivars, lower AAC%, water absorbance, and swelling correspond to greater rice

52

viscosity and palatability4.

53

In recent years, researchers have discovered that amylopectin structure affects rice

54

palatability. Rice texture is softer when short to intermediate chains are increased in

55

amylopectin5,6. Conversely, rice is hard and difficult to cook when the midchain

56

proportion is higher than chains of other lengths7,8.

57

In addition to starch, protein has great influence on rice palatability, as determined

58

by starch pasting9. High protein content increases rice hardness and decreases the

59

viscosity10 and glossiness of rice11. The most direct way to evaluate rice palatability is

60

a sensory test, but these are difficult to carry out. Toyoshima et al.12 reported that a

61

rapid visco analyzer (RVA) could evaluate the viscosity of polished rice flour, widely

62

used in flour viscosity trait measurements, and their results were closely correlated to

63

palatability traits. Rice with high palatability has a higher breakdown and a lower

64

final viscosity and setback than low palatable varieties13. The morphological

65

characteristics of grain are closely related to palatability. Previous studies have 3

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

66

explored liquid-nitrogen quick-freezing, a vacuum freeze-drying method that can

67

maintain rice grain reset conditions after cooking14. Rice grain surfaces and sectional

68

structures were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Highly

69

palatable rice with high viscosity exhibited more bright cracking features with fewer

70

dark film structures and moderate pasting on the grain surface, which showed

71

reticulate structures mixed with clintheriform sheet structures that are closely related

72

to viscosity and spongy inner features. Rice with low palatability did not have these

73

characteristics15-17.

74

Koshikikari is a world-famous rice cultivar with good palatability and the largest

75

cultivated area in Japan since 1979. Nevertheless, most breeders grow other cultivars

76

in addition to Koshikikari. Through the market-oriented rice breeding program

77

(1989-1996), breeders obtained materials with lower AAC% than that of common rice

78

varieties (“low-AAC% cultivars,” AAC% < 16.5%), including Oborozuki,

79

Yukigasumi, and Yukisayaka from Hokkaido. These cultivars are known as the most

80

palatable local cultivars because of their AAC% and good palatability evaluations18.

81

However, few studies have investigated the microstructures of these low AAC% rice

82

cultivars.

83

Environmental conditions influenced palatability by regulating grouting. Rice is a

84

compound botrys glumous flower and its growth conditions vary according to

85

position, and therefore result in varying grain composition and character. Superior

86

grains grow on top and have earlier flowering and higher grain plumpness than

87

inferior grains, which grow near the bottom. However, good grain plumpness is 4

88

observed in bottom spikelets as well. Various practices for producing polished rice

89

from caryopsis have been used for enrichment. Hence, it would be useful to compare

90

correlations between palatability and grain position in superior and inferior grains.

91

Therefore, we investigated the differences between low-AAC% rice with good

92

palatability from Hokkaido and common cultivars to compare superior and inferior

93

grains in the Tokyo region. This study was designed to determine the intergranular

94

differences that affect viscosity in low-AAC% rice cultivars.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

97

Materials

98

Three low-AAC% cultivars and three common cultivars were obtained from

99

Hokkaido and Northeast Japan, respectively. The low AAC% characteristics of

100

Oborozuki and Yukigasumi are controlled by the Wx1-1 in chromosome 6, and those

101

of Yukisayaka are controlled by qAC9.3 in chromosome 919. Yukisayaka has low

102

protein content but does not possess the endosperm opacifying traits of Oborozuki and

103

Yukigasumi. Common cultivars include Akitakomachi and Hitomebore, which are

104

descendants of Koshihikari with similar palatability to the parent cultivar, and

105

Tohoku194, which is a descendant of Sasanisiki and has a lower viscosity than that of

106

Koshihikari.

Cultivation and management

108

Field experiments were carried out at the Institute for Sustainable Agro-ecosystem

109

Services at the University of Tokyo(N35°44′, S139°32′)in 2015. All cultivars were 5

110

sown on May 20, 2015, and the common and Hokkaido varieties were transplanted on

111

June 16 and June 29 2015, respectively. Each cultivar was transplanted in seven rows.

112

The planting space was 30.0 × 15.0 cm and each experiment was replicated twice. As

113

a base, 500 kg·ha-1 (N:P2O5:K2O = 12:16:18%) of compound fertilizer was used. The

114

temperature data of the crop growth stage was logged using as automatic temperature

115

recorder that was set in the field.

116

Grains obtained and filling stage division

117

Samples were obtained at the initial and end stages of the heading period (superior 20-22

118

spikelet, UP; inferior spikelet, LP)

. The middle flag leaf of each plant was

119

designated as a standard, starting from the neck of the panicle drawn out of the sheath

120

below 1 cm. The sample panicle was harvested 45 to 52 days after designation (Table

121

1). The total grain from the primary branches was collected (top three and bottom four)

122

from UP and LP after natural withering. The marking date, the day before, and the

123

day after the marking date were designated as 0, -1, and +1 according to related

124

research22, so that the filling data was marked. In this study, the filling stage was

125

divided as follow: from the marking date, the -5 to -1, 0–5, and 6–14 of the UP, and

126

the -2–5, 6–16, and 17–32 of LP were the early, middle, and late stage of the filling

127

period, respectively. Therefore, the duration of the three phases in the UP and LP

128

were up to day 5, 6, and 9, and day 7, 11, and 16, respectively. After polishing, the

129

inadequate grain was eliminated using a 1.9-mm sieve.

131

The brown rice was polished using an experimental friction-type rice milling

132

machine (Grani Polisher Pearlest, Kett Electric Laboratory, Japan) to obtain a milling

133

yield of 90–91%. White rice flour was prepared using a somatic cell crusher

134

(Yasuikikai Company, Multi-Beads Shocker series, MB901U[S]) with a 100-mesh

135

screen.

136

Measurement of water content of white rice flour

137

The water content was measured using a 130℃ drying method, and the results of

138

AAC% and PC% were converted to a
