Schnellkochreis und Herstellungsverfahren dafür

摘要

The invention provides a process for the preparation of quick cooking rice having a natural appearance and smooth mouthfeel. The rice is produced by mechanically manipulating wet rice at a moisture content of from more than 17% to 32% by weight, preferably by wet milling the rice to remove the bran, followed by drying. The wet milling results in a product with quick cooking properties, superior cook yield and eating properties. The mechanically manipulated wet rice can also be instantized after the wet flexing step to produce an instant rice. Accordingly, the invention provides quick cooking and instant rices obtainable by the claimed processes.
