The current energy shortage and the desire for high yields of total and head rice are very important economic factors in the production of milled white rice for direct food use. The favorable yields obtained from this work indicate that reduction in energy requirements and increased yields could be achieved by proper mill adjustments and the use of various additives. The pilot scale results reported need to be evaluated further under commercial milling conditions to select the best combinations of mill settings and additives to obtain the greatest economic advantage, as well as energy savings.
