grain discoloration caused by fungi agents, in crop season that the mature grain stage coincides with rain, it causes many damages. in this research effect of paddy discoloration of three varieties (hashemi, gohar and khazar) and disease index in two levels (high and low disease index levels) on grain apparent quality, milling properties and grain bending strength was investigated in a factoria...

a thin layer solar drying method was compared with a traditional method (sun drying) of paddy drying, with their effects on quality characteristics of two varieties of iranian rice (kamphiroozi and sazandegi) studied. solar drying process was conducted in a passive, mixed mode type solar dryer at about 50ºc for 90 minutes. in sun drying method this process took 8-10 hours at a mean temperature ...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of oscillatory motion a rice dehydrator on drying time, rate, electrical energy consumption, specific milling quality (broken milled rice, head and recovery) varieties FARO 62, 15, 60. The was designed operate either in stationary or motion. influences consumption regardless variety. time ranged from 125 290 mins, rate (2.897 6.72 kgH2O/kg solids h), (...

a cause for breakage of rice kernels during the whitening process could be assumed to be due to the produced heat. it is partly because of abrasion and friction of grains produced by contact against themselves and/or against cone and concave. in this study the effect of different temperatures of brown rice on rice kernels' breakage during the whitening process was investigated. khazar cult...

Sucrose synthase activity in rice is potentially yield limiting. This is because the carbon that forms starch enters the developing rice grain as sucrose and that sucrose must be broken down to form the precursors of starch. The enzyme that breaks down sucrose in the filling rice grain is sucrose synthase. Earlier research efforts on rice physiology indicated that endosperm sucrose-synthase act...

Productivity of most common Iraqi rice cultivar was low compared to an average production among major rice-producing countries, this may be due to inadequacy of knowledge and skills of rice farmers about rice cultivation practices. The study was conducted in Mahanawiyah district of AL-Qadisiya Province in Iraq, to assess knowledge level of rice farmers about some rice cultivation practices .The...

No-cook process using granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme (GSHE) was evaluated for Indian broken rice and pearl millet. One-factor-at-a-time optimization method was used in ethanol production to identify optimum concentration of GSHE, under yeast fermentation conditions using broken rice and pearl millet as fermentation feedstocks. An acid fungal protease at a concentration of 0.2 kg per metric ...
