Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Improved Apparatus and Method for Making "Shellings" Of Rough Rice
The commercial value of rough rice is based largely on its milling quality. Among the more important factors which denote milling quality of rough rice are degree of hardness or resistance of kernels to breakage in milling, percentage admixtures of red rice, percentage of chalky kernels, and percentage of damaged kernels present in the rice. All of these factors have an effect either upon the yield of head rice or upon the total yield of milled rice, and upon the grade of the milled rice which can be obtained from rough rice.
Rough rice varies considerably in the yield of whole kernels or head rice and in the total yield that can be obtained in milling. The greater the yield of head rice and the greater the total yield that can be made from any lot of rough rice the more will the rice be worth to the miller.
