Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereals in the world. Before it is
consumed, it is common to remove the hull, bran and germ from the rough rice kernel which …

A true understanding of rice kernel fissuring and breakage, as a result of drying and
tempering, must includeboth engineering and cereal science principles. Particular emphasis …

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of drying and tempering treatments on
rice kernel fissuring at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature (Tg) …

Rice is amongst the oldest domesticated grain in the world and its cultivation has been
recorded in ancient civilisations. The total rice production sums to 472.25 million tons, China …

In this work the effect of the number of drying cycles associated with different tempering
treatments on rough rice kernel fissuring and head rice yield (HRY) has been studied for …

Glass transition can cause the formation of drying cracks in different component of maize
(Zea mays) at different drying stages, but the influence of the mechanism is unknown. This …

The use of low air temperatures (26–34° C) and relative humidities (19–68%) to dry thin-
layer samples of rough rice to the desired 12.5% moisture content was investigated. Drying …

The fissure generation of one short-and two long-grain rough rice dried at different air
conditions for 15, 30 and 60min, and respectively, tempered at 20, 30, 40 and 50° C for …

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of drying and tempering treatments on
rice kernel fissuring and head rice yield (HRY). Samples were dried under three different …

Fissure formation during rice drying is a major cause of rice milling quality reduction. This
work has applied principles of polymer science in studying thermal and hygroscopic …
