Question

In rice milling, the rubber roll sheller is used for:

• A. Separating paddy from brown rice
• B. Removal of bran adhering to rice kernels
• C. Separating husk layer from paddy grains
• D. Removal of husk layer from white rice

Hint:

In rice milling, a rubber roll sheller is used primarily to remove the husk from paddy grains, which is an essential step before further processing to obtain white rice.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The rubber roll sheller is a type of equipment used in rice milling to remove the husk from the paddy grains. The rubber rolls create friction between the paddy and the rolls, causing the husk to be removed while leaving the rice kernel intact.

This process is specifically used for separating the husk layer from paddy grains, making the rice ready for further processing. It does not remove the bran or separate paddy from brown rice, which are different steps in the milling process.

Thus, the correct answer is: Separating husk layer from paddy grains.
