Using an industrial microwave can shorten the time needed to dry rice bound for beer-making from days to hours and may lend itself to other food uses of the staple grain, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers found.
Researchers at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station examined whether the quicker drying time of a microwave would hurt the wort produced from rice that becomes beer after hops and yeast are added.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A former graduate student’s research with x-rays has verified a hypothesis by Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station scientists about why rice kernels often break during milling. Decades of research by scientists in the experiment station’s Rice Processing Program led researchers to hypothesize that uneven moisture content in the kernels during drying causes fissures that crack and break during milling. Research has shown that three or more fissures significantly reduce rice kernels’ commercial value, said Griffith...
