A Study on pH Metric Method for Detection of Cooked Rice Adulteration | Chapter 6| Progress in Chemical Science Research Vol. 2

The pH of cooked rice is determined for various intervals of storage time in the proposed study project. pH testing is performed on cooked rice samples that have been contaminated with a certain percentage of ruined rice. Rice that has just been cooked has a somewhat acidic pH. Salt builds up in rice during storage due to the evaporation of moisture at room temperature. Rice that has been cooked has an alkaline pH due to salt buildup. The pH of rice from the Kolam variety is measured from 0 hours to 36 hours in order to detect adulteration and spoiling of cooked rice with various storage and handling intervals. Additionally, rice is contaminated when ruined rice that has been sitting out for 12 hours is mixed in with fresh rice. Each contaminated mixture’s pH is measured. 50 residential and business samples are gathered in the Otur area and tested for pH. Results indicate a linear increase in pH over time that is proportional. Four other rice kinds, Indrayani, Kolam, Basmati, and Ambemohor, were all partially contaminated with the matching variety of rotten rice. The pH of each mixture is calculated. The same patterns of outcomes are attained. The report also suggests using pH metre testing to look for damaged or tampered rice. This is significant for lowering the health risks brought on by B. Cereus bacteria through rice deterioration during storage. The pH of cooked rice is raised by the salt buildup brought on by moisture evaporation. It is possible to successfully use this technology to identify contaminated rice. The degree of adulteration and the resulting rice rotting can be successfully determined using a low-cost, quick, and simple pH metric approach.
