Which of the following is NOT a by-product of rice milling?

  • A.Broken rice
  • B.Molasses
  • C.Husk
  • D.Bran

Answer: B

Correct answer: Molasses

Molasses comes from sugar manufacture, not rice milling - it is the syrup left when no more sucrose can economically be crystallised from cane or beet juice.

The other three all arise in a rice mill: husk from hulling at about 20 per cent of the paddy, bran from whitening at 8 to 10 per cent and carrying the oil, and broken rice from grading, sold at a discount to whole grain or used for starch, flour and brewing. Each has its own outlet, which is what makes a rice mill's residue stream so well developed.
