ABSTRACT
The purpose of rice milling is to produce an edible polished or white rice product from harvested, dried rough rice. In the rice industry, milling can refer to either the overall operations of a rice processing plant-cleaning, shelling, bran removal, size separation, etc.-or simply to the one operation concerned with the removal of the bran or outer layers from brown rice to produce a whole grain white rice product. For this discussion, we are using the term rice milling to describe the latter process.
