Abstract
Production of brown rice is wholly dependent upon the milling process of paddy. Understanding the paddy milling process with its basics and principles is essential to produce brown rice effectively. Therefore this chapter explains about the various technical jargons in rice milling, layers in the paddy husk, steps involved in production of brown rice with emphasis on machines involved in milling process and effect of degree of milling (DoM) on the quality of brown rice. This chapter helps the reader to understand comprehensively about the production process and its principles of brown rice.
