The fractions of protein, albumin, globulin, oryzenin, and prolamine extracted from 20 varieties of rice were determined, which include upland and paddy rice with both waxy and nonwaxy types.
The protein content is higher in the waxy type and especially in upland rice. The content of oryzenin and albumin were likewise higher in the waxy and upland types.
The results were discussed in the view point of nutrition.
