Intermittent Drying of Rough Rice

Influence of handling and processing of rough rice on fissures and head rice yields

“…Previous investigations showed this ratio as the best to minimize drying effects on rice final quality (Li et al, 1999;Shei & Chen, 1998). During this period, the samples were placed in sealed recipients at ambient temperature.…”

Modelling of intermittent drying of thin layer rough rice

“…An overview on intermittent drying of bio-products was given by Chua, Mujumdar, and Chou (2003) with selected results from experiments and mathematical models for a variety of biomaterials dried in a wide assortment of dryers. Chen (1998) and Shei and Chen (1998) used the Newton model to simulate the intermittent drying behavior of rough rice in a recirculating type rice dryer. Residual analysis showed that the proposed predictors are quite adequate.…”

Non-stationary drying of ceramic-like materials controlled through acoustic emission method

“…Notably, the drying and the tempering phase duration significantly affect the drying rate of rough rice in intermittent drying. For this type of drying, a few thin layer equations have been developed [11]. According to these results, the drying rate of rough rice is extremely fast during initial drying stage, as attributed mainly to a quick moisture release from the rice hull.…”
