Changes in Quality Characteristics and Metabolite Composition of Low-Temperature and Nitrogen-Modified Atmosphere in Indica Rice during Storage.

ABSTRACT: A low temperature (LT) is used to delay grain deterioration effectively. In practical applications, a nitrogen-modified atmosphere (N₂) is also an effective way of preventing grain pests and delaying grain deterioration. However, there are few studies on grain quality changes using a combination treatment of an LT and N₂ during storage. In this study, the storage quality, processing characteristics, and metabolites of rice under conventional storage (CS), LT (20 °C), N₂ (95%), and LT+N₂ treatments were analyzed for 180 days, under a controlled humidity of 65% ± 2%. The results showed that compared to the CS, LT, and N₂ treatments, the LT+N₂ treatment had the best effect in retarding the increase in MDA and electrical conduct
