Abstract
A breakage model was investigated for thin-layer drying of rough rice. The breakage model developed can predict the percentage of head rice (E/Eo) as an exponential function of the grain moisture. Experimental data of the rice moisture content during drying were fitted with a theoretical model of the drying process to obtain the parameters. Experimental data of percentage head rice and moisture content were fitted to obtain the parameters of breakage model. Both functions were used together to obtain a drying-breakage model. This model allows us to predict the drying time required to achieve a rice moisture content desired and to estimate the head rice yield percentage for this moisture content.
