Notes:
A quick-cooking brown rice product was developed using the centrifugal fluidized bed drier (“CFB”) concept. The high heat transfer rates in the CFB equipment provided a dry quick-cooking brown rice in about 5 min drying time, after precooking. Preparation time for the finished product was 10–15 min, about one-fourth that required for raw brown rice. Protein, vitamin, and mineral contents were comparable to raw brown‘rice and higher than white rice. Selected processing conditions were successfully used on a continuous CFB unit, producing about 40 1b/hr finished product. Yields were high, as very few broken kernels were observed.
