Quality isn't invariably simple to outline and it depends on the buyer and also the supposed use. what's thought of to be high-quality rice during a specific social setup or country might not be thought of highquality rice in another. Quality indicators embrace directly noticeable parameters like wet content, softness, grain color, chalkiness, form and size, aroma and style, and conjointly extraneous matter and defective kernels. These square measure partially determined by underlying chemical characteristics like gelatinization temperature and gel consistency, and partially by edge processes and grading aspects. vital scientific progress is being created in characteristic and analytic genes to blame for such quality traits that square measure terribly promising for brand spanking new varieties with considerably improved grain quality. Safety is set by the presence/absence of gear unsafe to customers. High concentrations of residues and contaminants will create rice unsafe. Standards are set down each in Codex and ISO to hide safety parameters like chemical residues, significant metals (arsenic, cadmium), aflatoxins and quality parameters. additionally, as per the sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement, countries will impose extra necessities. Grain quality and safety, hence, rely not simply on the rice selection however on the assembly setting, production practices and post-harvest operations. Thus, the assembly of good-quality rice that meets safety parameters needs controls right from the stage of seed to in-field crop management, harvesting, drying, milling, storage, transportation and selling. Following smart Agricultural Practices (GAP), smart producing Practices (GMP) and smart storage and coating practices is crucial for food safety however certification is also required to assure or demonstrate compliance with the standards set. Countries might have their extra set of safety standards supported their broader safety considerations. coating is additionally a crucial issue each as a unsafe substance and for its impact on the setting. it's vital to use gases that square measure non-hazardous to humans and also the environment[1]
