<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide sterile rice powders suitable for a material for manufacturing raw processed products. <P>SOLUTION: A liquid sterilization process which includes dipping raw rice for an appropriate period of time in an aqueous solution containing enzymes such as hemicellulase, pectinase, pectinesterase that can hydrolyze or soften the cell membranes of rice grains, and then dipping the raw rice in a sterilizing aqueous solution for an appropriate period of time for washing is performed. Dewatering, drying and refining are performed. Further, a drying process is performed while the temperature of the rice powders is kept at 50°C or lower. Also, the rice powders are air-stirred in a sterilizing atmosphere as a gas sterilization process to manufacture the sterile rice powders. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
