PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL UNITS
Remarks
1. A Rice Mill (Non par boil) with gasifier power plant to generate electricity by using rice husk.
Rice husk otherwise being underutilized can be turned into a power source by using gasifier technology that shall generate producer gas and electricity by using the gas.
2. Silica extraction unit for extracting sodium silicate and precipitate silica from rice husk ash.
Currently rice husk ash generated in the Rice milling industry is usually used for land filling to the detriment of environment. It is a national waste that source of sodium silicate is wasted away in such manner. goes
3. A bio methanation unit to extract methane from the rice mill effluent and to produce electricity by using gas fired engines. (If opting for Par boiled mills)
Rice mill effluents, if not treated before discharge cause environmental issues. Methane gas can be tapped from the effluents and the gas can be effectively used for heating applications and also for generating power using sterling engines.
4. A solvent extraction unit to extract rice bran oil 100 TPD
For higher value additions to Rice bran
5. Rice bran oil refinery 50 TPD
For refining the crude RBO to edible oil matching to global standards.

If rice is not cooked propaly how is it dangerous?
Well I don't think it is, but you may not be able to chew it well. :D
It is reaped, threshed and cleaned,then they haul it for field drying, (optional), then temporarily stack/pile it, (also optional) then they bag it.

The best kind of rice for you is regular Brown Rice, the worst is quick-cook White Rice (no Nutritional value) ------------------------------------------- If you are cooking specific dishes then certain rice varieties are better than others. For Risotto the three most popular grains of risotto rice you'll find are:
Arborio The most popular grain, it is large and rounded and has a wonderful creamy texture.
Carnaroli This long, elegant grain that tends to hold its shape well even when completely cooked. It's a good choice if you find your risotto always turns a little mushy.
Vialone nano This is said to have the creamiest, smoothest texture of all. For Curries Basmarti rice form the foothills of Kashmir is perhaps the best.
What is the meaning of rice granary?
The word 'granary' refers to a room or storehouse. In the Philippines something is needed to store all of the rice that is grown. The rice is stored in a rice granary.
What is the weight of 1 cup raw rice?
One cup of cooked rice should yield about 21 ounces of cooked rice, so if you want a half pound of cooked rice, try cooking a half cup of rice. You'll have a bit left over, but better too much rather than too little.
How many grains of rice are in a tablespoon?
There is no straight answer for this. It really depends what you are measuring with. If it was sand, the answer would vary as grains of sand are all different sizes because they are made naturally rather than in a factory where machinery is smashing it up and it would be more likely that each grain would be the same size as it is using the same method for each bit, like sugar. Sand is smashed up rock, and relys 100% on the sea and sea-creatures to smash it up, and they would not use the same method each time, therefore it is more likely that the grains of sand would be different sizes.
Basically man-made things PROBABLY have more grains of whatever it is in a table spoon than a natural thing...:D
What is the process to create rice paper?
Because it was used to make packages of rice, rather like tea bags are today. There are several different types of rice paper. See the link.
If you have 5.5 oz of uncooked rice how would that measure in cups?
5/6 cup of white rice.
Regular white rice triples in volume when cooked. (5 x 1/2 cups) x 1/ 3 = 5/6 cups
Minute rice expands much less. Nine units of minute rice yield 16 units of cooked rice. (5 x 1/2 cup) x 9/16 = 45/32 cups ~ 1 1/2 cups
How long do you cook Jollof Rice?
Black rice (aka forbidden rice) is rich in anthocyanins and so when cooked has a very strong purple colour. It DOES take a lot longer to cook than even brown rice. My first attempt to cook it was as risotto - disastrous. Edible, just, but it stained everything purple including chicken meat and peas. It also took 90 minutes to cook even asmall amount on ther stove.
Current effective technique - using a glass or ceramic dish, soak the rice for several hours (overnight is best). (Use glass or ceramic because the stuff stains plastic). Cover rice with water until the water is one index finger knuckle deep above the surface of the rice.
Before cooking - check the level of water, add a little more until it is one knuckle deep.
I cook it by absorption method in the microwave oven. Times vary according to the power of the microwave oven but the principle is - bring it to the boil, then let it simmer until all water is absorbed. For about a cup of rice (water to cover, one knuckle deep) it takes about 3-4 minutes on HIGH to bring it to the boil.
Then times are - white rice, 10 minutes on MED. Brown rice - 20 mins on MED. Red rice maybe slightly less on MED. Black rice - 25-30 mins on MED.
I tend to cook it for 20 mins on MED then I get it out to check its done-ness. It allows me to add a little more water if I feel it needs it.
When the cooking program is finished, I get the rice out and immediately fluff it up. I taste-test it for don-ness and if it's not quite done but all the liquid has been absorbed, I add a splash more and give it 3-4 minutes burst on HIGH. If you don't need to add more liquid but more cvooking is needed, give it 1 min to get it back to the boil, then 5-10 mins on MED.
Over time you learn your own microwave oven's quirks. I've gone to a fair bit of detail, but it is worth it to get the knack of doing this in the microwave. Absorbtion method means all nutrition (including soluble fibre) stays in the rice instead of being poured down the sink. Any uneaten cooked rice is stored in the fridge and we microwave a serve at a time as required. You can also use any of these rice types as a base for fried rice. If you're on a diet you can substitute brown rice where normally you would eat white rice. The added fibre means the rice in your diet is a lot more beneficial if it's brown, red or black.
For a special treat with black rice, cook as described above then when it's done fully and still hot, stir in some palm sugar (or dark brown sugar) and let it melt through evenly. Then pour in some coconut cream (I use a thick variety such as Kara). I store it in the fridge and use a small amount as a dessert base with freshly sliced mango.
If you don't soak the black rice first, it almost triples the cooking time.
Can you freeze rice krispie treats?
Yes, You can either put them in a freezer bag or wrap them in plastic and aluminum foil. When you want them to defrost, just set them out for a few hours.

Does is rice need to be washed before cooking?
Wash your rice before you cook it. It removes all the foreign dust and some of the starch on the grains keeping them separate after it is cook.
While you can eat unwashed rice you'll notice a different in taste between washed and unwashed.
Can you make scalloped potatoes with rice milk?
Absolutely, make sure to use unsweetened and add a dash of salt.
What is the difference between long and short grain rice?
The two main starches in rice are amylose and amylopectin. The grains tend to hold on the their amylose but amylopectin can leave the grain and move into the liquid being used for cooking. Long-grain rice has a lot of amylose and not much amylopectin. Short-grain rice has a good balance of both. So long grain rice will be lighter and fluffy because the grains will not get too sticky. Short grain rice will pour starch into the water it cooks in creating a sticky coating on all the grains which, if properly treated, can be made into an amazing, creamy sauce. Long-grain rices are great for dishes where rice is a base for something or playing second-fiddle to something else. Short-grain rice is superb for dishes where the rice is going to be the star, like a risotto.
How long will rice milk last in the refrigerator once it has been opened?
That's what I want to know. It says 10 days on the carton, but I can't find anything wrong with cartons I refrigerate after opening when I return to visit Mom a full month or more later. Anybody else?
