Abstract
The milling quality is crucial for both the nutritional and economic value of rice. Unfortunately, rice milling quality is constrained by the inherent characteristics of the rice mills. Therefore, optimising the rice milling process has become an urgent issue. In this study, the underlying cause of improved rice milling quality by pre-milling is elucidated through combining experimental and simulation. The results showed that the milling effect is enhanced due to the preferential debranning characteristic of the initial wear areas. Pre-milling creates initial wear areas in all parts of the rice grain, thereby improving milling efficiency. Ultimately, a method for determining the pre-milling time was developed by analysing the characteristics of retained bran on the surface of the rice grains. These findings provide useful guidance for optimising the combined rice milling process.
期刊介绍:
Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies (IFSET) aims to provide the highest quality original contributions and few, mainly upon invitation, reviews on and highly innovative developments in food science and emerging food process technologies. The significance of the results either for the science community or for industrial R&D groups must be specified. Papers submitted must be of highest scientific quality and only those advancing current scientific knowledge and understanding or with technical relevance will be considered.
