Lec 6. Milling Flashcards
It is a milled rice particle which will not pass through a perforated sieve with a round perforation of 1.4mm but the length of the grain is shorter than 3/8 of the whole unbroken milled rice kernel.
Small Broken
It is a milled rice particle with a length of 6/8 or more of the length of the whole unbroken milled rice kernel.
Head Rice
It is a milled rice with a length of 3/9 or more but shorter than 6/8 of the length of the whole unbroken milled rice kernel.
Large Broken
It is often called as the aleurone layer (this is where the protein is being stored). It has very low starch content but has a high percentage of oil, protein, vitamins and minerals.
Bran (Darak)
What part is under the bran layer?
- pericarp
- tegmen
- aluerone layer
It is the part of the grain attached to the panicle.
Pedicel
It is the part of the grain attached to the panicle.
Pedicel
Unhulled grain of rice. Rice comes from the field after threshing rice kernel with protective hull enclosing the grain.
Paddy, Rough Rice, Palay
Outcome when husk is separated from the paddy; sometimes called cargo rice or “pinawa” in the Philippines composed of bran, endosperm and the embryo.
Brown Rice
Grain after the removal of the hull and all or part of the bran layer from the rough rice.
Milled Rice
Outer layer of the brown rice consisting of the aleurone cells covering the endosperm of the rice grain.
Bran or “darak”
Outermost rough covering of the paddy grain (palea and lemma) consisting of the empty glumes, floral glumes and awn.
Rice Hull
Milled rice without any broken parts.
Whole Kernel
Ratio of the weight of grains that do not break in the process of milling and with a size of three-fourth (3/4) or more of the whole grain to the total weight of milled rice, expressed in percent.
Percent Head Rice
Measure of the ability of the machine to remove the hulls without breaking the grain
Coefficient of Wholeness
Product of the coefficient of hulling and the coefficient of wholeness of grains, expressed in percent.
Hulling efficiency
Measure of the ability of the machine to remove the hull.
Coefficient of hulling
Weight of paddy per unit loading time into the hopper/intake pit, expressed in kilogram per hour.
Input capacity
Quantity of paddy that the rice mill can process to a specified quality per total milling time, expressed in kilogram per hour.
Milling capacity
Extent or degree by which the bran layer of the brown rice is removed as a result of whitening
Milling degree
Most rice varieties are composed of roughly?
20% rice hull or husk
11% bran layers
69% starchy endosperm
