Abstract
ABSTRACTNine lots of long‐grain rice were milled, and the basic rice components (hulls, bran, brokens, and head rice) were segregated. Serial dilutions of ground samples were conducted to determine aerobic plate counts (APC) and coliform counts. Significant differences (p<0.05) in bacterial counts were found between the components for both APCs and coliform counts. The mean APCs in the basic rice components were ranked in the following order from the highest counts to lowest: hulls, bran, brokens, and head rice. Additionally, the mean coliform counts in the rice components were ranked in the following order from the highest counts to lowest: bran, hulls, brokens, and head rice.
