This work aimed to evaluate the effects of parboiling on the yield of upland rice cultivars harvested at different times. The cultivars were BRS Primavera and BRS Sertaneja, harvested at 30 and 47 days after flowering (DAF). For parboiling, samples were soaked in water bath at 65 °C in grain: water ratio of 1:1.6 in order to reach 25% and 30% moisture, and then were autoclaved for 10 minutes at 120 °C and 1.1 k...
The parboiling is the hydrothermal treatment of paddy before processing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the temperature and immersion time step of soaking (independent variables) on the color of the grain parboiled (dependent variable) cultivars of upland rice (BRS Primavera and BRS Sertaneja). A central composite rotational design (DCCR) was used, which includes a 22 full factori...
