INTERMITTENT DRYING OF ROUGH RICE

Abstract
This work obtains thin-layer drying data for rough rice from 108 treatments. A thin-layer drying equation is also derived using these data with drying air absolute humidity, drying air temperature, tempering time interval and drying time interval as the independent variables. In addition, an intermittent drying equation is developed to predict the drying behavior of rough rice in a re-circulating type rice dryer.
