In this study, two conditions of empty and partially filled paddy grain (EPFG) (unground and ground) are pre-treated using a mild hydrothermal process at 120 °C at 30–120 min. The pre-treatment condition which shows potential structural changes for sugar conversion (gelatinization of starch, reducti...
