PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a raw material composition for low-calorie konjak rice using konjak, modified starch, tapioca starch, gums or the like is provided. The composition reduces calories remarkably, enhances mouth feeling and inhibits hydration of konjak. By using the konjak rice, low-calorie instant rice is produced. CONSTITUTION: A raw material composition for konjak rice is swollen with water to give an aqueous paste. The paste is added with basic amino acid or basic salt as a coagulant and extruded into a rice-like shape having a specified size. Thereafter, the rice shaped material is coagulated in flowing water at 80 to 100deg.C containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of basic amino acid or basic salt and passed though flowing water at 80 to 100deg.C. The raw material composition comprises 2 to 10 parts by weight of konjak, 1 to 10 parts by weight of modified starch or tapioca starch, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of soybean dietary fiber, unpolished rice dietary fiber, 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of calcium hydroxide, 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of xanthan gum or guar gum and 80 to 120 parts by weight of water. |
