Abstract

Rate of absorption of water by paddy (rough rice) increases with. the temperature, but is relatively low below the gelatinization point; beyond this point, the grain absorbs water rapidly, preferentially on its surface layers, leading to early bursting and leaching. Hence for best efficiency, soaking for parboiling should be done slightly below the gelatinization point, or, more conveniently, by storting at 70° to 75° C. and allowing natural cooling. Milling quality of parboiled paddy depends on severity of heat treatment during parboil· ing and conditions of drying; the more severe the heat treatment, the better it is able to withstand adverse drying. Insufficient sooking leads to increased breakage. Simple soaking of paddy at or above 70 0 C. also improves milling quality. Rate of hydration of paddy as well as improvement in its milling yield by parboiling shows varietal difference.
