Abstrak: Aging is a natural
and spontaneous phenomenon which occurs during storage of dry grain, involving
physical changes and chemical that would alter the quality of the cooking,
processing, taste and nutritional value as well as affect the commercial value
of rice. Naturally aging takes a long
time between 6-12 months so it is less economical. Aging may be accelerated by
increasing the grain moisture content and storage temperature. Freshly
harvested rough rice contains high
moisture content ranging between 21-26% and respiration activity is still high which generate heat
that can be accumulated by the packaging, so the grain temperature increases.
The purpose of this study was to determine the types of packaging which can
increase the temperature and RH storage, milling yield and head rice yield.
Grain varieties used are Siam Pandak with five types of packaging, ie black
plastic bags, sacks, cans, wood and tarpaulin, and stored for 72 hours. As a
control, direct drying grain harvest is used. Observations are including
temperature and RH in packaging, milling recovery and head rice yields. The
results showed that all types of packaging used can increase the temperature
and RH in the packaging than the temperature and RH in storage space. The most
high milling recovery obtained from black plastic packaging, while the head
rice yields all kinds of packaging meets the quality criteria V ISO 6128-2008
except wood packaging, although based on the percentage of head rice,
tarpaulins packaging has the highest head rice.
