RICE-BASED FOOD COMPOSITIONS AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

(A) comminuting rice and/or broken rice to obtain a comminuted rice-based material; (B) hydrothermally-mechanically treating the comminuted rice-based material until a rice-based matrix material is obtained by at least partial gelatinization of the comminuted rice-based material; (C) forming the at least partially gelatinized rice-based matrix material by pressing and portioning in order to obtain rice-based food articles; and (D) drying the rice-based food articles. The drying step (D) comprises a water removal phase (WR) where water is removed from the food articles; and a water homogenization phase (WH) where the water concentration within the food articles is homogenized.
