This study aims to examine the ability of free floating aquatic plants to remove phosphorus and to predict the reduction of phosphorus from rice mill wastewater using soft computing techniques. A mesocosm study was conducted at the mill premises under normal conditions, and reliable results were obtained. Four aquatic plants, namely water hyacinth, water lettuce, salvinia, and duckweed were use...

the rice, and also that the wheat atta used in Calcutta is so finely sifted that it is also deprived of these ingredients even to a greater extent than the rice. (7) Pigeons feci on polished rice, boiled and unboiled, suffer from loss of weight and from a characteristic polyneuritis. (8) The severe outbreaks of this disease in Calcutta in 1877-79 and 1907-09 are correlated with a high price of ...

Cereal Chem. 84(2):119–124 The effects of the degree of milling (based on surface lipids content [SLC]) on cooked rice physicochemical properties were investigated. Head rice yield (HRY), protein, and SLC decreased with increasing milling, while the percent of bran removed and whiteness increased. Results showed that SLC significantly (P < 0.05) affected milled as well as cooked rice properties...

The chemical composition of rice hulls produced in an artisan mill and its conversion to fermentable sugars was investigated. The carbohydrate fraction represented 59.2% (w/w) of the dry hulls. Cellulose, with 36.6%, was the main component, followed by xylan with 13.9%. An important contribution of starch (8.7%) was also detected. The content of ash (19.6%) and lignin (15.5%) was comparable wit...

Cereal Chem. 74(6):864–867 Rough rice (cv. Bengal) was stored at four moisture contents (8.8, 10.7, 12.9, and 13.6% MC) and three temperatures (3, 20, and 37°C) for up to six months. The amylograph overall paste viscosity of the milled rice increased during storage. This increase was most apparent in all samples stored at 37°C. For rice stored at 20 and 37°C at all MC levels, a 30–50% increase ...

&#x0D; The location where the rice mill service is located an important thing for most farmers to improve quality of rice. Clear information about one determining factors in choosing a suitable mill. For and people who do not know surrounding area when they are going milling, it will be difficult find nearest location. There several weaknesses using manual system, including obtained accordance ...

Rice bran is the cuticle existing between the rice and husk of the paddy and consists of embryo and endosperm of the seeds of Oryza sativa, family Graminae. It is obtained as a byproduct in rice mill during polishing of rice obtained after dehusking of paddy. Rice bran contains about 15% of fixed oil and is obtained by solvent extraction method. It contains oleic acid, linolenic acid as unsatur...

This research was conducted in three permanent rice mills located Laubaleng District, Karo Regency, they are Dison Tani mill, Karunia mill and Akung mill. aimed to analyze the revenue feasibility of milling District. The business analyzed by cost income analysis formula. Analytical tools that used were Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate Return (IRR), Profitability Index (PI), Payback Period...
