The research aimed to find out the expiration time of rice from the microbiological aspect of rice. Rice samples used was Ciherang varieties. Rice was packed using 3 types of packaging, sacks, non-vacuum plastic and vacuum plastic. Rice was stored in two different places, air-conditioned rooms and room temperature.
