AB  - Vietnam belongs to the fifth largest rice producer worldwide with a production volume of 26.63 million tons in 2023/2024 [1]. This enormous increase in yield came along with the “Green Revolution” in the 1960s and is related to the introduction of new varieties of rice, particularly dwarf varieties, combined with the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides [2]. However, this led to undesirable developments, such as the overuse of pesticides with known consequences. Organic farming opposes conventional farming practices by strict prohibition of the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, relying instead on alternative methods like optimized crop rotation, organic fertilization, and biological weed and pest control [3].Rice quality cannot be summarised in one parameter because consumers have different preferences than industries or food technologists. Quality traits encompass physical appearance, cooking and sensory properties and, more recently, nutritional values [4]. The measurable rice quality characteristics include the amylose content of rice starch, which is high for grainy rice and low for sticky rice [5]. Furthermore, antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids continue to play an important role in food because they protect human cells from damage caused by free radicals [6]. Finally, -aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important neurotransmitter, which also has health-promoting properties [7]. The objective of this study was to compare the contents of amylose, antioxidants, and GABA of 7 different rice varieties obtained from experimental fields in the province Vinh Long/Vietnam cultivated under organic and conventional cropping systems.
