Abstract: The eating quality of rice is jointly determined by intrinsic components such as starch and protein, as well as extrinsic conditions including processing and cooking, involving a series of physical and chemical changes such as starch gelatinization, moisture migration and the formation of flavor compounds. The key influencing factors including variety characteristics, processing technology, storage methods and cooking conditions of rice were systematically reviewed, aiming to provide references for the breeding of rice varieties with high eating quality and the establishment of standardized processing techniques.

Key words: rice, eating quality, variety characteristics, processing technology, storage method, cooking condition
