Abstract: Paddy drying is an important global issues both for producer and the millers. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of two stage drying techniques on the milling performance of parboiled paddy. For this, BRRI Dhan 28 was used in this study, which become parboiled by traditional method. The parboiled paddy was then dried by two options of two stage drying: (i) Fluidized Bed Drying (FBD) at the first stage and tempering followed by again fluidized bed drying at low temperature (FBD+FBD) (ii)FBD at high temperature at the first stage and tempering followed......
