Abstract
Studies on the effects of high-temperature fluidized bed drying and tempering on physical properties and milling quality of two long-grain freshly harvested Vietnamese rice varieties, A10 (32±1% wet basis moisture) and OM2717 (24.5±0.5% wet basis moisture), were undertaken. Rice samples were fluidized bed dried at 80 and 90°C for 2.5 and 3.0 min, then tempered at 75 and 86°C for up to 1 h, followed by final drying to below 14% moisture (wet basis) at 35°C by thin-layer drying method. Head rice yield significantly improved with extended tempering time to 40 min. Head rice yield tended to increase with decreasing cracked (fissured) kernels. The hardness and stiffness of sound fluidized bed dried rice kernels (in the range of 30-55 N and 162-168 N/mm, respectively) were higher than that of conventionally dried ones (thin layer dried at 35°C). The color of milled rice was significantly (P < 0.05) affected="" by="" high-temperature="" fluidized="" bed="" drying,="" but="" the="" absolute="" change="" in="" the="" value="" was="" very="" small.="">
