NOTES APPLICABLE TO THE SPECIFICATION OF GRADE ‘A’ and COMMON VARIETIES OF RICE 1. The definition of the above refractions and method of analysis are to be followed as given in Bureau of Indian Standard “Method of analysis for food grains” No’s IS:4333 (Part-I) 1996 and IS: 4333 (Part-II)2002” Terminology for food grains” IS:2813-1995 as amended from time to time. Dehusked grains are rice kernels whole or broken which have more than ¼ of the surface area of the kernel covered with the bran and determined as follows: ANALYSIS PROCEDURE:- Take 5 grams of rice (sound head rice and brokens) in a petri dish (80×70 mm). Dip the grains in about 20 ml. of Methylene Blue solution (0.05% by weight in distilled water) and allow stand for about one minute. Decant the Methylene Blue solution. Give a swirl wash about 20 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid (5% solution by volume in distilled water). Give a swirl wash with water and pour about 20 ml. of Metanil Yellow solution (0.05% by weight in distilled water) on the blue stained grains and allow to stand for about one minute. Decant the effluent and wash with fresh water twice. Keep the stained grains under fresh water and count the dehusked grains. Count the total number of grains in 5 grams of sample under analysis. Three brokens are counted as one whole grain. CALCULATIONS: Percentage of dehusked grains = N×100 W Where N= Number of dehusked grains in 5 grams of sample W= Total grains in 5 grams of sample 2. The method of sampling is to be followed as given in Bureau of Indian Standard “Method of sampling of Cereals and Pulses” No IS: 14818-2000 as amended from time to time. 14 3. Brokens less than 1/8th of the size of full kernels will be treated as organic foreign matter. For determination of the size of the brokens average length of the principal class of rice should be taken into account. 4. Inorganic foreign matter shall not exceed 0.25% in any lot, if it is more, the stocks should be cleaned and brought within the limit. Kernels or pieces of kernels having mud sticking on surface of rice, shall be treated as inorganic foreign matter. 5. In case of rice prepared by pressure parboiled technique, it will be ensured that correct process of parboiling is adopted i.e. pressure applied, the time for which pressure is applied, proper gelatinisation, aeration and drying before milling are adequate so that the colour and cooking time of parboiled rice are good and free from encrustation of the grains. 15 Form-A [(See clause-11(1)] REGISTER SHOWING DETAILS OF PADDY RECEIVED FROM STATE PROCURING AGENCIES OR THEIR AGENTS FOR CUSTOM MILLING (Figures in Qtls.)
