Parboiling and Drying Plant – 2 TPH Capacity

Parboiling of rice is an ancient traditional process of India. The meaning of parboiled rice is exactly what the name implies – rice that has been partially boiled, i.e., cooked. Of course, the rice is pre-cooked in paddy form. In its simplest form, the process consists of soaking paddy in water until it is saturated, draining the excess water and then steaming or otherwise heating the grain to gelatinize the starch. The grain is then dried.

The technology for parboiling and drying plant – 2 and 4 TPH capacity has been developed at CFTRI, Mysore, using appropriate equipment for optimal product recovery of right quality

Parboiling of rice has many advantages. It reduces grain breakage during milling, greatly improves the vitamins and other nutrients in the polished rice grain, increases the oil in the bran, reduces proneness to insect infestation, changes the cooking and eating quality of the rice and reduces the loss of nutrients during cooking
