چکیده

Background: Brown rice offers superior nutritional value compared to polished white rice but is less favored in rice-consuming countries due to its limited shelf-life. This study evaluates the efficacy of gamma irradiation in reducing fungal contamination in brown rice and extending its shelf-life, considering factors such as paddy age, rice ...
