Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) plays a fundamental role in world food security and socio-economic development. It is the staple food of more than half of the world’s population and provides employment for millions of rice producers, processors, and traders worldwide. The food components and environmental load of rice depends on the rice form that results from different processing conditions. Brown rice (BR), germinated brown rice (GBR), and partially milled rice (PMR) contain more health beneficial food components compared to well-milled rice (WMR). Brown rice is also known as “hulled” or “unmilled” rice. Any rice, including long-grain, short-grain, or glutinous rice, may be eaten as brown rice. It is essential to store brown rice by appropriate ways to reduce the qualitative and quantitative losses caused by abiotic and biotic factors affecting them. Different storage practices such as hermetic storage, refrigeration, or freezing can significantly extend the lifetime of rice. Adopting integrated management practices and the use of alternative methods will certainly help us to manage the resistant population against stored pests of brown rice.
