Impact of Parboiling
Hydro Thermal treatment of rough rice leads to breaking of the tight hull seal, a structural
change of the outer bran layer, gelatintization of the starchy endosperm, hardening of the grains
and discoloration of the grain.
1. Breaking of the hull seal - Enormous swelling of the brown rice leads to breakage of
the hull seal during soaking and steaming of the rice.
2. Structural changes in the bran layer - As a result of steaming and soaking the
structure of bran layers are changed and their components redistributed; heat treatment results
in more sticky bran.
3. Gelatinization of starchy endosperm - This leads to elimination of all fissures and
crack. The overall structure of the starchy endosperm becomes more compact and its tensile
strength increases many a fold.
4. Discoloration of grain - During the parboiling process, the color of brown rice kernel
changes from translucent white to a yellowish and sometimes a brownish color. Color changes
result from microbiological activities, chemical changes and the pigment of hull being absorbed
in brown rice along with water.
5. Increased hardness - The hardness of brown rice kernel increases after parboiling and
drying, improving the grain’s resistance to the milling forces.
