Mixing and moving of samples during radio frequency (RF) processing have been demonstrated to be efficient ways for improving the heating uniformity. However, current single or limited direction requires a comprehensive systematic investigation combined movements in multi-directions. The purpose this research was compare RF uniformity milled rice with movement layer/part rearrangement three dir...

About 480 million tons of rice (milled base) are produced annually in the world. It is one cereals with a low trade rate for its production. In Asia, more than 90% world's production produced. The top 10 countries all Asian countries. main operation cultivation consists planting, management while growing (weed & pest control, water management), harvesting, and post-harvest processing. addit...

It has been recorded in literature that superheated steam the ability to combine parboiling operation (steaming and drying) of paddy (Oryza sativa - UPL1) rice into a single unit. According literature, this process not fully explored implemented processing. In research work, dryer was used parboil (steam dry) rice. Soaking time temperature 12hours at 60°C, with steaming ranging from 10 24mins, ...

I. The net protein utilization (NPU, the percentage of dietary nitrogen retained in the body, allowance being made for endogenous urinary and faecal N) of diets composed of Nigerian foodstuffs, based on rice, sorghum (Sorghum sutiva) or cassava (Manihot utilissima), was compared to that of a minimal protein diet used to determine endogenous N excretion, supplemented with whole egg. The addition...

other compounds found in healthy cell walls (Cochrane et al., 2000), as well as from a number of compounds Carotenoids, compounds valuable for their antioxidant properties that increase in concentration during host–pathogen inin humans and animals, are sometimes present in the bran layers of teractions (Pierce and Essenberg, 1987; Belefant-Miller rice (Oryza sativa L.). We developed a nondestru...

Cereal Chem. 77(5):535–540 Observations in 1997 indicated a significant reduction in kernel bulk density and head rice yield of rice cultivar LaGrue due to blast (Pyricularia grisea). A more detailed study on rice cultivar M202 in 1998 confirmed such observations but it also showed negative effects of blast on other physical properties of rice. Rough rice from blast-infected panicles was drier ...
