Brown Rice (Caryosis)

A kernel of rice consists of several layers. On the left is an example of a rice grain called true fruit or brown rice (Caryosis). In general, each rice kernel is composed of the following layers:

 
Rice shell or Husk: encloses the brown rice, consists mainly of embryo and endosperm.
Bran layer: a very thin layer of differentiated tissues. This layer contains fiber, vitamin B, protein and fat. The most nutritious part of rice resides in this layer.
Embryo: the innermost part of rice consisting mainly of starch called amylose and amylopactin. The mixture of these two starches determines the cooking texture of rice.


Rice Production Processing

Rice Processing

Cleaning : removes foreign objects, such as hey, straw, stone, tree stump, and snail shell, from the paddy.

Husking : rubs excessive husks off cleaned paddy. Once removed, brown rice is separated from the husks through the ventilation process.

Paddy Separator : separates some unhusked paddy from brown rice by applying a difference in gravitational pull and surface friction The unhusked paddy, then, re-enters the husking process.

Milling : strips off the bran layer from brown rice. The bran layer is by air ventilation, which sucks in the brand layer. This process usually takes 2 to 3 cycles, depending on the required milling degree.

Grading : separates milled rice (mixture of different sizes: whole grain, head rice, and broken rice) by a sieve grader. The finished rice will be stored in individual bads, according to its grade. And the rice is ready for delivery.
