Use of tempering has proven to be effective for the improvement of rice milling quality, but few researches focused on its influence mechanism for dried rice storage quality. In this study, influence mechanism of tempering treatments [tempering at 65 degrees C (DTHT), 50 degrees C (DTMT) and no tempering (DTNT)] on the storage quality of two varieties rice ("Aolongsimiao" and "Shengtaiyou 018 '') was evaluated based on the assessment of physicochemical and sensory quality, and a novel method judging the damage of mitochondrial function and structure in dried rice. During rice drying and storag...
