Parboiling of rice refers to the process of partial boiling of the paddy before it is milled. This helps increase the nutritional value of the final product and reduces wastage. Other benefits of parboiling rice are that it reduces the breakage during milling and changes cooked rice texture. 

However, there are different methods of parboiling rice, such as soaking the paddy in large tanks and steaming them in kettles or using pressure to parboil rice. While many mill owners rely on pressure parboiling technology, there are even more advanced methods of parboiling rice. 

In this article, we will discuss the modern method of parboiling rice. 

Modern Parboiling Innovation – BRIS

Bhattacharya Rice Intelligent System (BRIS) is a cloud-based intelligent rice processing system. It can automatically identify and categorize paddy based on physical characteristics, such as short, medium, and long grain. 

The system can then process the paddy based on the required category: the texture, appearance, cooking characteristic, etc. 

How BRIS Works?

The BRIS follows a three-step process to parboil rice: pre-steaming, soaking, final steaming. 

Pre-steaming helps increase the gap between the rice kernel and the husk. Soaking prepares the paddy for complete gelatinization. The last step, i.e., final steaming, helps achieve the desired cooking time expected by the customer. 

BRIS consists of more than 5000 parboiling methods in its database. All you need to do is choose the one that fits your requirements, make changes in the pre-defined parameters (if required), and the system will then transfer it to the control panel. 

All the processes are automated and do not require any human interference to parboil rice.  The best part about BRIS is that you can save the data of parboiled rice and replicate the same for the next processes when and as required. 

Another advantage of using BRIS for parboiling rice is that it promises a guarantee of 96% uniformity in character and texture of the final output. 

Final Thoughts

With the modern rice parboiling method, you can increase productivity and efficiency in your rice mill. It also helps reduce wastage post milling.
