The planting area of high-quality indica rice varieties has been growing rapidly in China. However, the storage characteristics these remains unclear. In this research, different moisture contents (13.5, 14.5, and 15.5%) (variety Xiadao No.1) were stored at temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30°C) for 360 d, then evaluated lipid metabolism, redox enzyme activities, fatty acid composition, sensory attributes. With prolongation storage, displayed an upward trend value, malondialdehyde content, cooked hardness a downward total fat non-starch lipid, peroxidase catalase score rice. change trends quality parameters aggravated by elevating temperature content. Linoleic content generally decreased with prolonged storage. After 300 d initial 13.5% 30°C showed value higher than 30 mg KOH/100 g, while other two reached similar level 25°C. whole period, only 13.5 14.5% 15°C had 60. These results suggested that aging process can be inhibited decreasing provide reference grain enterprises to select proper condition store
