Subtopic: Drying and milling of cereals, pulses and oilseeds
Question Statement:
In a pulse milling operation, $1000\text{ kg}$ of raw pigeon pea (arhar) dhal is milled. The process yields $720\text{ kg}$ of clean dehulled split dhal, $150\text{ kg}$ of husk and powder, and $130\text{ kg}$ of broken grains. Calculate the percentage milling yield of clean split dhal.
Answer Key:
72
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
$\text{Milling Yield} = \frac{\text{Weight of clean split dhal}}{\text{Total raw grain feed}} \times 100 = \frac{720}{1000} \times 100 = 72.0\%$
