PURPOSE:To obtain the subject low-caloric food, having appearance and texture equal to those of natural cooked rice and useful as artificial rice by including starch, dextrin, a gelling agent and cellulose therein and specifying the moisture content. CONSTITUTION:The objective ricey food comprises (A) <=20wt.% starch (e.g. starch of rice or corn), (B) <=20wt.% dextrin [preferab1y having 20-30 dextrose equivalent (DE)], (C) 0.1-7wt.% gelling agent and (D) 1-20wt.% cellulose (preferably formed into fine powder) and 40-90wt.% water. This food is obtained by mixing, stirring and kneading the respective ingredients with water, then placing the resultant dough in an extruder, extruding the dough, cutting the extrudate near a die discharge outlet, subsequently introducing the obtained pelletsin a water bath, eluting the dextrin in the pellets and then gelatinizing the pellets. Furthermore, when the gelling agent such as pectic acid gelling with bivalent cations is used as the ingredient (C), calcium chloride, etc., are preferably added in the gelation. |
