| Abstract | In this study, the existing color measurement techniques in various industries were
investigated and selected color parameters were tested for their applicability in group
classification based of color features of naturally aged milled rice kernels.
Four reference standards to grade milled rice samples into four classes were
selected based on instrumental classification. A visual evaluation scheme based on
scanned images of milled iice samples was developed to validate the reference
standards and instrumental classification. The instrumental color parameters of
reference standards chosen showed high Pearson's correlation coefficient (r = 0.88 to
0.99) with color parameters of visual classified groups.
Also a classification methodology based on Euclidian distance of instrumental
measurement was tried and this approach when used based on CIEL *a*b*, b*, YI and
LiE yielded close results to visual evaluation with overall error ranging from 11 to 16
%. A correlation between the sensory evaluation and instrumental values was
developed for cross validation.
