It is widely acknowledged that rice is an importatn food , especially in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Pest is the crucial issue in the food storage. Pest damage rice quality and quantity as well as bring hygiene problems. Traditional pest control methods are using bromo methane and phosphine to steam rice. However, the bromo methane destroys the ozone layer and gradually replaced by other method. Phosphine steam solution not only make pest own anti-medicine but also contaminate food products.

Based on those problems, microwave technology is defined as “environmentally-friendly, high efficient, clean and Less energy consumption method”.

Microwave can directly penetrate rice in order to kill pest, pupae and eggs. After microwave process, rice can be directly packed to avoid pest destroy. Meanwhile, microwave is able to improve rice tasty and quality. Rice quality (including strength, puff and chewing feel) reply on the amylase, amylopectin, the amount of protein, water imbibitions, Free Fatty Acid and fragrance. Generally, the higher amount of Amylase, low amount of protein and good water imbibitions contribute to rice quality. In addition, microwave can minimize free fatty acid to reduce the growth of fatty acid so rice can be kept fresh.

Generally, we control microwave sterile temperature is 54-68℃，namely rice microwave energy 0.014-0.030kw.h/kg, electricity consumption is 0.022-0.048kw.h/kg. Therefore, microwave machine can save much power and 100% kill all kinds of bugs and insects’ egg to assure rice quality.

MAX Industrial Microwave manufactures all kinds of machine to meet with rice killing pest demand.
