Determination of proximate and mineral content of selected commercial rice in Malaysia

The study was conducted to determine and compare the contents of macronutrients and minerals in three types of selected commercial cooked white rice in Malaysia. The selected white rice for this study were long, medium and short white rice. The white rice was cooked according to the proper measur...
