Abstract. Regression analyses were performed to determine the storage conditions that exhibited the best outcomes for long-grain, hybrid milled rice yield and quality. This study evaluated mold population on rough rice, milled rice discoloration, and head rice yield (HRY) after storage of rough rice in airtight conditions at moisture contents (MCs) of 12.5%, 16%, 19%, and 21% wet basis and temperatures of 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 27°C, and 40°C at two-week intervals for 12 weeks. The experiment used a popular long-grain hybrid rice cultivar (XL745). Rice lots were procured from fields with and without conventional treatment of the field with fungicide for plant disease management. Field treatment and no field treatment were considered as a block, and a Mann-Whitney test was conducted to determine effect. The response surface method, an extension of second-order polynomial regression, was used to examine optimal treatment conditions. Mold population and milled rice discoloration from a combination of storage conditions were predicted using regression models. The first-order and second-order terms of temperature indicated a nonlinear relationship between temperature and ln(discoloration). The MC was positively associated with ln(discoloration), but the degree of impact may change with temperature because the interaction term was significant. From the model evaluation (R2 and lack-of-fit test), the discoloration level is expected to be 57% (49% to 66% confidence interval) under conditions of 20% MC, 40°C, and nine weeks of storage for samples procured from fungicide-treated rice fields. This discoloration change is substantial compared to the initial discoloration of 9%. At high temperature (40°C) and MC (21%), discoloration started immediately after two weeks of storage. Anaerobic storage conditions impeded mold growth, especially at high storage temperature (40°C). Low mold populations were observed in rice stored at low MC (16%). According to the regression model, the critical storage temperature that may lead to discoloration is between 27°C and 40°C. Pre-harvest fungicide treatment of rice in the field for disease control significantly improved the HRY but had no significant influence on mold population or discoloration. This study suggests a range of storage conditions to prevent losses in milling yield and quality of rice. In addition, the studied storage conditions mimicked the typical conditions for on-farm, in-bin drying and storage in the U.S. Mid-South, especially for the top layers of rice inside the bin, and therefore provide an important reference for growers and rice processors using in-bin structures to manage the quality of long-grain hybrid rice.

HighlightsThis study experimentally simulated drying of rough rice subjected to various cold storage/chilling conditions.The rice was dried using slightly-heated air and high temperature air with procedures set to mimic those practiced by commercial systems.The moisture removal, drying rate constant, material state transition, milling and quality characteristics of rice upon drying conditions was investigated.The study provides important reference information for growers and rice processors using the relatively new rice cooling technology.Abstract. High temperature (field heat) and moisture content of freshly harvested rough rice promote excessive respiration and microbial growth. Therefore, the rice risks significant deterioration of quality due to delayed drying at peak harvest time when drying capacity becomes limited. The U.S. rice industry has identified that cooling/chilling the rice prior to drying to remove the excess heat, immediately after harvest, significantly preserves the quality of milled rice. This study experimentally simulated drying of rough rice after cold storage/chilling. The rice was dried using slightly-heated air and high temperature air with procedures set to mimic those practiced by commercial systems. Rough rice at moisture contents (MCs) of 16%, 19%, and 21% (wet basis) were stored at storage temperature (Ts) of 10°C, 15°C, and 20°C for up to 4 months. Following retrieval, the samples were dried at drying temperature (Td) of 35°C, 45°C, and 60°C and relative humidity (RH) of 20%. Each drying run comprised of two 20-min drying passes with the rice tempered at the drying Td for a duration of 4 h following every drying pass. Following the drying, the rice was conditioned in an equilibrium MC chamber (T=26°C, RH=56%) to 12.5% MC and then milled to evaluate milled rice yield and quality characteristics. The highest percentage points of MC removal (6.77% points) occurred following drying at air temperature of 60°C for samples with initial MC at 21% and stored at 20°C. Drying with air at 60°C decreased head rice yield (HRY) especially for samples with initial MC at 21% and stored at 10°C (HRY=51.4% versus those at 45°C and 35°C, HRY=55.95% and HRY=58.8%, respectively). Drying air temperatures studied (35°C, 45°C, 60°C) had no significant effect of causing discoloration of samples within the range of the studied initial MCs and storage temperatures. Peak and final viscosities of samples with different initial MCs (16%, 19%, and 21%) stored at 20°C followed by high temperature air drying (60°C) were significantly different from those of samples stored at 10°C and 15°C. The results provided insight into the drying, milling, and quality characteristics of rice after cold storage/chilling. The information provide foundation for development of new recommendations to improve quality of milled rice. Keywords: Conventional drying, Cooling/chilling, Milling quality, Rough rice, Storage.

The Impact

Highlights Rice kernel physical integrity diminished at higher storage temperature and moisture content. Variation in rice kernel physical integrity was noticeable among rice cultivars. Fungal attack lessened rice kernel physical integrity. Abstract . Rice kernel physical integrity directly correlates with rice milling yield and quality. In this study, the impact of storage conditions on rice kernel physical integrity was examined by assessing changes in head rice yield (HRY) and kernel microstructure. Long-grain hybrid (XL753), long-grain pureline (Roy J), and medium-grain (Titan) rice were stored at different storage moisture contents (16% and 21% MCs, wet basis), storage temperatures (20°C, 30°C, and 40°C), and storage durations (4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks); the samples were also treated with antifungals, sodium chloride, and natamycin. Results show that kernel physical integrity was highly dependent on the rice storage environment. At the same storage conditions, the physical integrity of medium-grain cultivar was significantly higher than that for the two long-grains. Generally, the long-grain hybrid rice exhibited more resilience to breakage than pureline under the same storage conditions. An average of 4% reduction in HRY was seen for the three cultivars when 16% MC rice was stored at 40°C compared to at 20°C; however, the HRY reduction was 12% for rice stored at the highest MC (21%). Decreases in kernel physical integrity were also associated with unique microstructural changes in rice kernels. Sodium chloride treatment of rice kernels significantly and negatively impacted their physical integrity during storage compared to natamycin treatment and untreated control samples. Multiple regression models, developed for each cultivar were applicable for predicting changes in rice kernel physical integrity as a function of studied storage conditions and antifungal treatments.

The work shows that application of increased doses of nitrogen does not significantly affect the total milling yield and affects the head rice content. The ambiguous nature of the variability of the grain quality of rice varieties under conditions of different doses of nitrogen fertilizers confirms the need for further studies of the varietal reaction to the level of nitrogen nutrition, based on it - the development of rice cultivation technology modes in order to obtain rice yield with high grain quality.

Abstract. X-ray imaging is a viable method of fissure detection in rough rice kernels owing to the ability of X-rays to penetrate hulls, thus allowing visualization of internal rice kernel structure. Traditional methods of fissure detection are only applicable for brown and milled rice, and therefore cannot be used to study fissures developed during rough rice drying. In this study, the fissure detection capability of an X-ray system was evaluated and the relationship between head rice yield (HRY), as measured through laboratory milling, and the percentage of fissured rough rice kernels was determined. Long-grain rice lots of various cultivars were dried using heated air at 60°C, 10% relative humidity (RH) for five drying durations to produce different degrees of fissuring, and then milled to determine HRY. A strong linear correlation (R2 = 0.95) between HRY and the percentage of fissured rough rice kernels after drying was determined. This correlation confirms the substantial impact that kernel fissures have on milling yields. Overall, these findings show the effectiveness of X-ray imaging in rough rice fissure detection, which could allow for drying research that may provide a better understanding of kernel fissuring kinetics.

Abstract. Rough rice in the Mid-South U.S. is typically stored and milled at a moisture content (MC) between 12% and 13% on a wet basis. Drying harvested rice to lesser MCs requires increasingly greater energy and reduces the overall mass of rice, both of which translate into lesser financial return for the crop. Considering these disadvantages of drying and storing rice at lesser MCs, farmers and grain handlers have been interested in exploring storing rice at slightly greater MCs. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of storing rice at five MCs (11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, and 15%) on milling characteristics, particularly surface lipid content (SLC), milled rice yield (MRY), and head rice yield (HRY); additionally, the effects of storing rice at two storage temperatures (25°C and 35°C) and several storage durations (up to one year) on milling characteristics were investigated. Five long-grain rice lots were harvested in 2016 and 2017 from several locations in Arkansas; rice from each lot was gently dried to the target MCs and then stored in sealed glass jars at selected temperatures. With an increase in storage MC, shorter milling durations were needed to achieve a given SLC, which could potentially reduce the cost of the milling operation. However, rice samples stored at greater MCs were observed to have lesser HRYs, which could reduce the economic value of rice. The mean HRYs of the 15% MC samples were 4.8 to 9.1 percentage points less than the mean HRYs of the 12% MC samples. This study quantifies the milling characteristics of rice when stored for various durations at different MCs and temperatures. Overall, these data will allow the rice industry to make informed decisions related to storage conditions of rice, specifically storage MC.

Important Processing

Milling, an important processing step of rough rice, is usually done to produce white, polished grains. In this paper the quality of 22 milled rice varieties, common in Mazandaran, Iran, are investigated. These rice varieties included local varieties and breeding lines. Parameters assessed were head rice yield, degree of milling, husk removed percent, and total milling recovery. Results obtained revealed that the Tarom Mahali and Champa varieties have the highest head rice yield as 60.58 and 66.39 % and total milling recovery as 69.96 and 71.38 %, respectively. The greatest degree of milling value was found for the Haraz variety with a mean of 16.06 %. Also, it was found that the husk removed percent values were not statistically different among the varieties studied. Finally, considering all results obtained, the varieties of Tarom Mahali, Champa, and Neda showed to be more economical in the milling process.

SUMMARYExperiments were conducted across 2 years to determine the effect of harvesting methods – combine harvester and hand harvesting – and harvest time during ripening on milling quality of long grain rice grown in the rainfed lowland ecosystem in Cambodia. Head rice yield (HRY) was highest when rice was harvested 25 days after flowering and decreased with delay in harvesting at 35 and 45 days after flowering. This was accompanied by a general decline in grain moisture content at harvest, although it was still high at 24–25% at 35 days after flowering. The decline in HRY was associated with increases in fissured grain percentage observed immediately after harvest. Hand harvesting produced 2–6% higher HRY than combine harvesting. Fissured grain in hand harvested crops was lower in year 1, but was similar to combine harvested crops in year 2. Both hand and combine harvested crops were sun-dried but rough rice harvested by combine was dried on plastic sheet and this may have contributed to reduction in HRY. Maximum HRY percentage was only about 44% and the factors contributing to this low HRY were discussed. Harvesting time and methods had no significant effect on grain yield, but the field grain loss during the harvesting operation was 2–5% higher in combine than hand harvesting.
