Effect of Abrasive Processing in the Milling Process on the Quality of Rice

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of abrasive processing and non abrasive processing in the milling process on the quality of rice. The effect was analyzed based on the factor such as whiteness, grain temperature, moisture content, crack and broken rice ratio. The results were as followings. Whiteness of abrasive rice was the same as non abrasive rice. The rice temperature increase of abrasive rice was $1.6^{\circ}C$ lower than non abrasive rice. The crack ratio was increased in the process of milling and non abrasive rice showed higher values than abrasive rice. The broken rice ratio of the using abrasive processing was about 0.05% lower than that of non abrasive processing. The moisture content decreased in the process of milling regardless of the use abrasive rice milling machine.
