Paddy Drying by Fluidization Technique for Increasing Head Rice Yield

摘要

Experiental results of fluidized bed paddy drying by high air temperature (140 and 150deg.C) at various initial and final moisture contents showed that head rice yield cold be increased to a maximum value at the range of final moisture content of paddy of 19-22 /100 wet-basis. The factors affecting the increase of head rice yield were the initial and final moisture content of paddy and the tempering process.
