Abstract

Experimental result of fluidized bed paddy drying by high air temperature (140 and 150°C) at various initial and final moisture contents showed that head rice yield could be increased to a maximum value at the range of final moisture content of paddy of 19-22 % wet-basis. The factors affecting the increase of head rice yield were the initial and final moisture content of paddy and the tempering process.
