Principle: The macromolecules in rice grains, including carbohydrates and lipids, will gradually degrade into organic acids, such as amino acids and free fatty acids during storage, which result in the increasing acidity of rice grains. The pH value of rice grain is detected by dying with Bromothymol Blue (BTB)-Methyl Red (MR) dye solution and comparison with a standard color chart.
