The study was conducted to find out the effect of storage conditions and packaging on sensory evaluation of rice. Rice grains were stored in different packaging materials viz., vacuum packed bags (C1), polythene bags (C2), cloth bags (C3) and gunny bags (C4) stored at room temperature (25 ± 2º C) and cold storage (4 ± 1º C) for a period of 18 months. Among the storage conditions, cold storage recorded higher score over room temperature, irrespective of the storage containers throughout the storage period of 18 months. Among the containers, vacuum packaged bags (C1) recorded higher score for appearance, color, flavour, texture, taste and overall acceptability of cooked rice compared to all other treatments under both ambient storage (S1) and cold storage (S2). Lower score was observed in gunny bags (C4) under both ambient storage (S1) and cold storage (S2) followed by cloth bags (C3).
