The quality assessment of rice is increasingly essential and it is one of the most essential foods in the diet of human. The quality of rice is defined as eating quality and cooked texture. RVA is a heating and cooling viscometer that provides information on the pasting properties. RVA profile might be used as an indirect index to evaluate the rice grain quality which would be helpful for selection of parent lines with good quality in rice breeding program. In this investigation, we focused to assess quality on japonica and indica rice genotypes based on RVA pasting profile. Results showed that PSM (Japonica) was more viscous than other genotypes due to highest final viscosity and the good cooking quality varieties have higher breakdown viscosity, lower setback and lower final viscosity. The good eating quality varieties have lower breakdown viscosity, higher final viscosity and setback viscosity. In this study, if compared with Thaichung 65 and IR 24 (Indica), PSM (Japonica) could have good cooking and eating quality due to highest breakdown viscosity and lowest setback viscosity. Rice breeders can employ them in breeding programs using the Japonica and indica rice genotypes with desirable property for improvement of grain quality.
