As the main grain crop in the world, the quality of rice has become the focus of people's concern with the continuous improvement of living standard. In order to ensure the quality of rice, it is necessary to find or develop more rapid and non-destructive detection methods. Nondestructive testing of rice is the key technology to establish an effective monitoring system for rice quality and safety. The present situation and application of rice quality nondestructive testing technology in China in recent years are reviewed. The research progress and existing problems of nondestructive testing technology of rice quality are elaborated in the aspects of the applications of near infrared spectrum technology, electronic nose technology and computer vision detection technology in rice milling quality, appearance quality, nutritional quality, cooking quality and taste quality. The development of the rice quality detection technology is prospected.
