PURPOSE:To efficiently improve the qualities of rice for boiling by treating rice with acetic acid and neutralizing it with a solution of specific organic acid salt to allow the rice grains to develop good color tone, gloss, elasticity and adhesion and attain the improvement in taste and texture. CONSTITUTION:The grains of rice such as Indica rice for boiling are held in the temperature range lower than that at which boiled rice starts gelatinizing and soaked in an acetic solution for 1 to 24 hours to allow the acetic acid to penetrate into the inside. The acid-treated rice grains are neutralized with a solution containing an organic acid salt as a food additive, for example, sodium citrate or sodium acetate to remove the small and taste of acetic acid whereby the rice for boiling is modified in its quality. |
