Excerpt from Drying Rough Rice With Infra-Red Radiation
Moses (1) reported the commercial application of electric infra-red lamps to the drying of rough rice in California. He cited the higher cost of electric energy as the principal objection to this method of drying rice but did not quote comparative data on the effects on milling quality and drying rates of infra-red drying versus heated air drying.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details a series of lab experiments on using an infrared gas heater to dry rough rice. Conducted by the US Department of Agriculture, the experiments aimed to determine how this drying method affects rice quality, especially the effects on milling yields and rice germination. The experiments found that drying rice with infrared radiation within the range acceptable for drying without damaging milling quality can kill immature rice weevils and lesser grain borers. They also noted that the amount of moisture lost during cooling or 'tempering' was found to equal or exceed that removed during irradiation. This loss is dependent on factors such as temperature, relative humidity, and the degree of exposure of the rice to the air.
