Abstract

This work aims to study the energy consumption of glutinous rice drying via infrared irradiation. An experimentation was used an infrared heater, with the power adjusted at 300, 400 and 500 W. Parameters were studied on layer’s thickness of glutinous rice, moisture ratios and energy. An experimental result revealed that a drying energy consumption of 0.75 kWh with glutinous rice at 5 mm of layer’s thickness which was optimal. The power was selected at 300 W using a drying time of 150 min.
