Drying Studies of Cooked Rice in a Vibrofluidised Bed Drier

摘要

Drying studies of cooked rice were carried out at temperatures from 160℃ to 240℃. The moisture ratio (MR) was found to follow the same pattern as grain drying. The drying parameters of Page's equation was determined to predict the course of moisture ratio with time. The empirical model predicted the behaviour of the drying system consistently.
