Instructions

Parboiling is a significant process in rice production, particularly for long grain rice from the Indica variety. This treatment enhances the nutritional profile, texture, and milling yield of the rice.

What is Parboiling?

Parboiling involves a hydrothermal treatment of paddy rice before milling. The process consists of three main steps: soaking, steaming, and drying. During soaking, the rice absorbs water, which prepares it for the subsequent steaming phase where it is subjected to high temperatures. This causes gelatinization of starch, making the grains firmer and less sticky when cooked.

Benefits of Parboiling

  • Nutritional Enhancement: Parboiling transfers nutrients from the bran to the endosperm, making parboiled rice more nutritious than white rice. It retains essential vitamins and minerals that might otherwise be lost during milling.
  • Improved Cooking Characteristics: Parboiled rice cooks faster and has a firmer texture compared to raw rice. The grains are less likely to clump together, making them ideal for various dishes.
  • Higher Milling Yield: The treatment reduces breakage during milling, resulting in a higher yield of whole grains compared to untreated rice.
  • Flavor and Aroma: Parboiling helps in removing undesirable flavors and volatiles from raw rice, leading to a more pleasant taste when cooked
