Notes:
The influence of high temperature heat treatments on the head yields of rough rice having moisture in the range 18–30% wet basis was investigated using an experimental rotary conduction heating unit with constant agitation. Based on the time-temperature history of bulk grain, reaction kinetic parameters (Fc and zc values) were determined for specified changes in head rice yields for general application. The estimated isothermal heating times (Fc values) were related to the reference bulk grain temperatures (Tref) and initial moisture of rice samples (IMC). The plots of Fc value and Tref led to the determination of zc value and its dependence on the IMC of rough rice.
