Milling and physical characteristics of pigmented rice varieties

In the present study, four different pigmented rice varieties, namely glutinous white rice, black rice and two red rice varieties (TPS-1 and TKM-9) were evaluated for various quality aspects in terms of milling and physical characteristics such as hulling percentage, milling percentage, whole kernel recovery, milling loss, thousand grain weight, grain volume, bulk density, true density, grain length, grain width and L/B ratio.
