Abstract

Studies on the potential for parboiling of rice by soaking in hot water without further steaming are described. Laboratory, pilot and large-scale trials were conducted on several var.; soaking temp. of 70-85 degree C, soaking times of less than2 h, and subsequent tempering times of less than2 h were studied. Incidence of husk splitting, 'white belly' (presence of a non-gelatinized core), milling breakage %, alakali score, water uptake ratio and equilibrium moisture content were determined. The results show that soaking at a temp. 10-15 degree C above the gelatinization temp. for 1.5-2 h, draining, then tempering for 1-2 h gives good results: freedom from 'white belly' or husk splitting and reasonably good milling quality and colour.
