Quality Evaluation of some Thailand and Vietnam Scented Rice

Abstract

Twenty-two scented rice varieties ofThailand and Vietnam were evaluated at Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack,
for their quality indices. The study revealed that Haw mki Xwai, TD-52, Xiang Gengli, Hsiang Nou-l and Khao
Jao Hawn from Thailand and Tam Thomthankhoa and TamQuthankhoa from Vietnam are good donors for major
quality indices. These varieties can be exploited for hybridization programme to produce better quality scented rice.
