Quality characteristics of long-grain rice milled in two commercial systems
1998
Chen, H. | Siebenmorgen, T.J. | Griffin, K.
Long-grain rice variety Kaybonnet was milled to three degree of milling (DOM) levels in two commercial milling systems (a single-break, friction milling system and a multibreak, abrasion and friction milling system) and separated into five thickness fractions. For both milling systems, the surface lipid content (SLC) and protein content of the milled rice varied significantly across kernel thickness fractions. SLC was influenced by DOM level more than by thickness, while the protein content was influenced by thickness more than by DOM level. Particularly at the low DOM levels, the thinnest kernel fraction (<1.49 mm) had higher SLC than the other kernel fractions. Protein content decreased with increasing kernel thickness to 1.69 mm, after which it remained constant. In both milling systems, thinner kernels were milled at a greater bran removal rate as indicated by SLC differences between the low and high DOM levels. For rice milled to a given DOM level, the multibreak system produced fewer brokens than did the single-break system.
