Selection of drying method and milling pattern for obtaining efficient post-harvest technology of long grain rice (Oryza sativa L. var. Ciherang) with preserved nutritional quality

Generally, long grain rice is vulnerable to cracking during milling, whilst others claimed that paddy drying methods influence the head rice recovery. Thus, this work aimed to find out the suitable long grain rice paddy drying method and milling pattern to enhance head rice recovery with preserved nutrient content. A set of rough paddy rice drying tests utilising thin layer, oven and sun drying methods were carried out. Subsequently, the dried rough rice grain was milled employing different...
