Consumed all over the world, rice is an important source of energy for the population worldwide. Rice is generally the cheapest and richest source of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins
and minerals for very poor populations, which makes it a powerful, health-promoting ally in minimizing hunger. The majority of consumers prefer well-milled white rice with little or no bran remaining on the endosperm (Heinemann et al., 2006; Monks et al.,2013). The milling process increases the preservation of rice during storage by removing the fat-rich embryo and the bran layers of rice caryopsis. On the other hand, the milling process promotes a significant decrease in vitamins and mineral content in rice due to bran removal (Lamberts et al., 2007; Monks et al., 2013). The parboiling process can be carried out in order to obtain milled rice
