We would like to inform you of our specialisation in the worldwide wherein we have with continuous
research in collaboration with the Vietnamese & International research institutes developed new expertise and
capabilities in the last few years. Our role as an inspection and testing agency is not only to analyse the
traditional parameters of Vietnamese & International rice like moisture, broken, yellow kernels,

damaged/discoloured kernels, red/red-streaked kernels, foreign matter, etc., but to identify the pure
Vietnamese & International kernels from the rest (admixture). Many methods have been employed to
discriminate Vietnamese & International from other varieties such as visual appearance, cooking analysis, etc.
Till today one of the most dependable methods to check adulteration of rice for the low grade varieties of rice
was the conventional grand mother’s method, i.e. the cooking test. After cooking the kernels are segregated
according to their elongation in length and widening in breadth (it is this highest elongation in length and
lowest widening in breadth after cooking that gives Vietnamese & International the slender appearance on the
platter). However, this test alone doesn’t give 100 % reliability, because of the development and introduction
of new seeds very close to the traditional varieties of Vietnamese & International rice. The cooking test must
be carried out jointly with another test called Alkali Digestion Test. This test indicates the type and degree of
disintegration of the starchy endosperm of the kernels, on that basis the kernels are rated on a seven-point
numerical scale (each variety has a different position on the numerical scale).
Apart from admixture (of other varieties of rice), an inspection of Vietnamese & International rice is especially
important for the weight, packing and marking of the bags/packages especially when Vietnamese &
International rice is exported in consumer packs of 5, 10, 20 and 25, 35, 50 kgs with grade 100%, 25%,
20%, 15%, 10% & 5% broken.
The inspections of Vietnamese & International rice are usually carried out as per the grades/standards
stipulated by Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Govt. of Vietnamese & International for brown, parboiled
and raw Vietnamese & International rice meant for export. However, Vietnamese & International rice analysis
can also be carried out as per customized specifications or type-samples approved and sealed by the buyers
(the samples drawn at the time of inspection and the type-samples are compared on the basis of Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, Govt. of Vietnamese & International parameters).
