Abstract

This study was investigated to evaluate whether brown rice drying could reduce the rice production cost. Characteristics of brown rice drying was experimentally determined. With brown rice drying, the higher energy efficiency could be obtained. Therefore, this method is effective to cost reduction . However, there are some problems , for example occurrence of fissuring and preservation of rice quality.
