Includes bibliographical references (pages 50-68) Thesis classification: P The objective of this present study is to validate the variability in physico-chemical and microbial qualities of raw and resulting ready-to-eat (RTE) cooked rice prepared by cook-chill processing system utilizing commercially available rumbled rice marketed under the trade name Super Angelica. Significant variations (p<0.05) in raw rice physical qualities were established based on the results of the grading and classification evaluation system described by the Philippine National Standard-Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards PNS/BAFS 290:2019 and amylose content. Likewise, variations in trends of texture qualities were established in the resulting microwaved reheated chilled RTE cooked rice stored up to seven days in terms of hardness, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness. The microbial quality and pH values of cooked rice were not considered significantly affected by rumbling because these parameters were considered controlled by processing and storage conditions. The study recommended the strict implementation of the National Food Authority (NFA) Circular OCS-2018-J-0 that limits the classification of local commercial rice into four categories namely, regular, well-milled, premium, and special as an official replacement to the current use of market trade or fancy names. The study also looks forward to the drafting of a national regulation that will eventually reflect the actual cultivar names of rice being marketed in the country to definitively address the rumbling of traded rice nationally.
