ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a rice whitening apparatus which is capable of indicating a degree of milling. The rice whitening apparatus comprises a first sensor means (1), a second sensor means (1'), a calculating means (20a) and an indicating means (23). The first sensor means (1) includes a first reflected light receiving sensor (6) for measuring a degree of reflected light from the brown rice, while the second sensor means (1') includes a second reflected light receiving sensor (6') for measuring a degree of reflected light from the milled rice. The first sensor means (1) may include a first transmitted light receiving sensor (5) for measuring a degree of transmitted light from the brown rice, while the second sensor means (1') a second transmitted light receiving sensor (5') for measuring a degree of transmitted light from the milled rice. The calculating means (20a) calculates the degree of milling of the rice based on the degree of reflected light or both the degree of reflected and transmitted light from the first and second sensor means (1, 1'). The indicating means (23) indicates the degree of milling calculated by the calculating means (20a).
