Effect of mixing, tempering and multistep thin layer drying on milling quality of parboiled paddy
Convective air drying studies were conducted on a laboratory model thin layer dryer. The parameters studied were 70-150°C drying air temperature, 0.5-2 m/s air velocity and 5-20 cm grain bed depth. The effects of mixing, tempering and multistep drying process on milling quality were evaluated. Mixing, tempering, multistep drying and control of grain temperature enhanced the milling quality while ...

Improving the fermentation characteristics of corn through agronomic and processing practices
This study determined the influence of corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids, N availability, grain harvest moisture, and drying temperatures on dry-mill ethanol production. Six hybrids, ranging from 92 to 108 d in relative maturity (RM), were planted at two locations over 2 yr. One of four N fertilizer treatments were applied. Grain was hand-harvested at grain moistures of 20 and 25%. Grain was dried to ...
