Aged to Perfection: AI-Powered Verification of Basmati Age

Basmati rice is prized for its long, fluffy grains and distinctive aroma. But what many people may not know is that aged Basmati rice, when stored for 12-24 months or longer, is even more valuable. The ageing process improves texture and enhances fragrance, commanding premium prices.

This price difference creates a tempting opportunity for dishonest practices. Currently, checking rice age requires cooking and tasting the rice by experts. This method takes time, destroys samples, and relies on human judgment which can vary between different testers.

This white paper shows how ProfilePrint’s technology can determine Basmati rice age rapidly, achieving:

  • High accuracy in distinguishing 12-month from 24-month aged Basmati enabling rice traders to verify premium ageing claims

  • Successful classification despite limited training data addressing a common industry challenge where age certificates are often missing or unreliable

  • Rapid on-site assessment replacing lengthy laboratory testing allowing immediate quality decisions

By making rice age testing simple and reliable, ProfilePrint helps ensure that aged Basmati rice commands its proper value in the market, protecting both buyers from overpaying, and honest sellers who invest in proper ageing processes.
