<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain high moisture pregelatinized malted rice intended for product diversification at a low cost through obtaining a distilled product having productivity of enzyme equivalent to that of conventional malted rice and the same quality even if simplifying a rice steaming equipment and reducing time and energy required at a fermentation site, and to provide a method for producing the malted rice. <P>SOLUTION: The high moisture pregelatinized malted rice is obtained by letting washed rice absorb water, dehydrating the product followed by steaming, quickly cooling the steamed rice thus obtained, holding the rice at least for ≥12 h at a low temperature of 0°C-10°C, and adding Aspergillus oryzae to the high moisture pregelatinized rice thus obtained to grow Aspergillus oryzae. As a result of this, all of a rice washing equipment, a soaking tank equipment, a dehydration equipment and a steam supply equipment to obtain steamed rice are not needed to prepare at a fermentation site, and purification of waste liquid becomes unnecessary, so product diversification can be achieved at a low cost. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
