Rice is washed, wetted with warm water of 38 to 45deg.C for 6 to 8hr while circulating, dehydrated with a dehydrator(12), heated with steam at 95 to 120deg.C for 55 to 70min, dried and then polished. The wetted rice has a moisture content of 25 to 30%. A brown rice making apparatus comprises: a wetting device(11) with a wetting tank(111a,111b,111c,111d), a perforated plate(114) and a scraper(117); the dehydrator; a steamer(14) with conveyor(144a,144b); and a polisher(17). |
