Abstract

High moisture paddy (HMP) harvested in rainy season (containing about 37% moisture) was mixed with common salt at 1-6% levels before being stored at room temp. (25-26 degree C) and RH 85-90%. HMP could be stored in gunny bags or in heaps for 2 months by mixing with 2.5% salt and for 3 months at 5% salt. Milled rice from the salt-treated paddy contained less than 1% salt, which did not affect its acceptance by consumers.
