since threshing is one of the most sensitive rice post-harvest processing operations, this study was conducted to evaluate the threshing performance in axial - flow paddy thresher. independent variables consisted of: drum speed at five levels (550, 650, 750 and 850 rpm), equivalent to peripheral velocities of: 14.67, 17.35, 20.01 and 22.37 m/s, respectively, paddy moisture content at two levels...

Mixtures of cereals and legumes result in products with higher content of high biological value proteins. The thermoplastic extrusion promotes the transformation of chemical, physical and nutritional characteristics of the food such as starch gelatinization and promotes the inactivation of anti-nutritional compounds and enzymes. This study aimed to develop products extruded using broken rice an...

It gives me great pleasure to deliver the keynote address at the Asian Bond Conference organised jointly by the Thai Bond Dealing Centre (Thai BDC), Fixed Income Money Market Dealers Association of India (FIMMDA) and Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI). It is a matter of significance that some of the major self-regulatory organisations (SROs) in the debt markets of Asia have taken this ...

Rice flour, corn flour and deoiled rice bran blends were used to prepare ready-to-eat extrudates

A central composite rotatable design with four independent variables viz. blend ratio (broken rice flour and cowpea flour): 90:10–70:30, moisture content (10–18% wet basis), barrel temperature (110–150 °C), screw speed (280–360 rpm) were varied in the development of ready-to-eat snacks using a twin extruder for broken rice–cowpea product. The effects on specific mechanical energy, water absorpt...

Batanghari Regency is one of the regencies in Jambi Province that has a potential for development lowland rice commodities. Rice farming consists organic and inorganic rice. Organic technique using fertilizer (compost fertilizers) can be broken down by decomposer organisms. The continuous use chemical fertilizers pesticides on agricultural land results decrease structure composition nutrients s...

The findings of superior varieties early maturing rice, good irrigation facilities supported using production technology allow rice harvesting in Indonesia to be caried out 2 3 times a year. main problem postharvest handling is the high yield loss and grain produced are low quality. influencing factor mulling process, based on milling capacity, there three group namely large, medium small mills...
