ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA DA QUALIDADE EM DOIS MANEJOS DE SECAGEM EM UM PROCESSO DE BENEFICIAMENTO DE ARROZ

Abstract

Rice is food present daily at the table of all Brazilian citizens, we can to say that it is the culture with the greatest potential for adaptability to different climate conditions and soil, depending on this, is one of the crops with the greatest potential to fight hunger in the world. Its production cycle between planting and harvesting is between 120 and 150 days depending on the variety, after maturing, this product is harvested by agricultural machinery and dispatched to warehouse, at the receipt in the storage sector, starts the pre-cleaning process for remove from coarse impurities and after proceed to storage silo and start process drying. The present work aims to prove the best filling handling for low-temperature drying between 2019 and 2020 prioritising grain quality, seeking the lowest possible percentage of yellow grains. To obtain these analyses, it was made use of the support software Minitab, where through the same, by means of control letters is possible to evaluate if the process is within or outside normal. Thus, it intended identify that the filling management adopted directly implies the quality of the product resulting in losses in the industrial processing of white rice.
