Cereal Chem. 75(5):738-741 Milling data of four long-grain rice cultivars were analyzed to determine the uniformity in the slope of their curves for head rice yield (HRY) versus the corresponding degree of milling (DOM). The data set for each cultivar comprised samples that had been subjected to various drying air conditions and durations and milled over a range of moisture contents. All treatm...

The objective of this study was to optimize the operating parameters of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Test Tube rice mill. The goal was to minimize the milling duration required to attain a milling degree equivalent to a 12% brown rice kernel mass loss. Operating parameters including brown rice mass, milling duration, tube oscillation frequency, and test tube size were invest...

Abstract: The specific rate of breakage is one of the most important factors in evaluation of grinding process especially in ball mill. In this article the effect of ball size and feed size on selection function were investigated using batch grinding circuit on two-iron ore anomaly (B, C) from sangan mine in north of Iran. Eight different monosize fractions were prepared between 2000 and 50...

Abstract In Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) processing the raw materials are purified terephthalic acid (PTA), moderately (MTA), monoehalene glycol (MEG). The of PTA is very difficult and costly. For reducing percent we using different percentages MTA blend in PET processing. affected properties polyester melt spinning process. such as elongation, tenacity, molecular chain length, b-color IV, ...

The purpose of this research was to established new polysaccharide for the colon targeted drug delivery system, its formulation and in vitro and in vivo evaluation. Microspheres containing chitosan and bora rice were prepared by simple emulsification phase separation technique using glutaraldehyde as cross linking agent and model drug used was glipizide. Results of trial batches indicated that ...

Cereal Chem. 75(3):380-385 A digital image analysis method was developed to quickly and accurately measure the degree of milling (DOM) of rice. The digital image analysis method was statistically compared to a chemical analysis method for evaluating DOM, which consisted of measuring the surface lipids concentration (SLC) of milled rice. The surface lipid area percentage (SLAP) obtained by the i...

Quantitative study of root morphological characteristics of plants is helpful for understanding the relationships between their morphology and function. However, few studies and little detailed and accurate information of root characteristics were reported in fine-rooted plants like rice (Oryza sativa L.). The aims of this study were to quantitatively classify fine lateral roots (FLRs), thick l...
