Rice (Oryza sativa L) is the second largest important cultivated cereal. India is among major rice producing countries in world and Asia contributed 90 percent of the world cultivated area. India contributes more than 20% of paddy production in world with a figure of 152.6 MMT in 2012. Rice being invaluable alternative source of carbohydrate being easily digestible and has rare allergic reactio...

Rice is an important staple food for more than half of the world's population. Especially in Asian countries, rice is a major contributor to dietary glycaemic load (GL). Sustained consumption of higher-GL diets has been implicated in the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given that a reduction in postprandial glycaemic and insulinaemic responses is generally seen...

Rice is the staple food for nearly two-thirds of the world's population. Food components and environmental load of rice depends on the rice form that is resulted by different processing conditions. Brown rice (BR), germinated brown rice (GBR) and partially-milled rice (PMR) contains more health beneficial food components compared to the well milled rice (WMR). Although the arsenic concentration...

In a previous paper we showed that the yeast Pichia pastoris X-33 grown in parboiled rice effluent supplemented with glycerol byproduct from the biodiesel industry improved the quality of the effluent. In this paper we show the validation of this yeast (PPE) as probiotic for broilers. Its effect on feed efficiency and immunomodulation was compared with the same yeast grown in yeast peptone dext...

The study assessed the adoption of improved rice processing technologies focused on small-scale processors groups under IFAD- Value chain development program in Niger State. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used for selection 160 processors. Data were generated using structured questionnaire. descriptive and inferential statistics analysis data. results described that 52% respondent between...

Agri-food supply chains include several processes, from cropping and harvesting to distribution. Integrating these processes reduce costs environmental impact providing sufficient are the main goals of agri-food chain management. Rice, a so-called staple food, makes up significant portion human diet worldwide. Due importance rice, this paper proposes mixed-integer linear programming model for r...
