Abstract:

The structure and physicochemical properties of black rice pigments were described to in this study as well as the preparation of adulterated black rice. Black rice adulteration may be verified through color reaction, UV-visible spectrum and IR spectrum. The results showed that the adulterated black rice could be identified by qualitative analysis of black rice pigment. Difference in the characteristics of spectrum could also be used to identify whether the black rice were adulterated or not under some condition.

Key words: black rice pigment, property, adulterated black rice, identification
