Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The 915 MHz industrial microwave is a novel technology that has the potential to achieve one-pass drying of rice within a short drying duration and reduce rice drying losses. However, processing recommendations for the commercialization of this technology for rice drying is lacking. The goal of this research is to provide processing conditions that are useful for the commercialization of the 915 MHz industrial microwave technology for rice drying. This was achieved by studying the impact of microwave specific energy and processing conditions such as harvest moisture content, milling duration, and aging on the physicochemical properties of a 915 MHz …

Rice is utilized as an adjunct grain by the beer manufacturing industry. Before utilization, the rice has to be dried to a desired moisture content. The drying process employed may have an impact on the rice’s physicochemical properties which influence the rice’s performance in the brewing process. This study focused on investigating the impact of microwave drying on rice’s physicochemical properties and utilization in the brewing process. Rough rice samples at an initial moisture content of 19.7% wet basis were exposed to microwave dryer set to deliver 525 kJ/kg of energy in a single drying pass. The effects of the …
