US Patent:

Filed:
Apr 11, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/507445
Inventors:
Don R. McCaskill - Stuttgart AR

Abstract:
A process of producing a high-stability parboiled rice product which is not quickly rehydrated, but which is highly resistant to breakdown during long periods of steamtable exposure. The parboiling process comprises a hot water soak followed by steaming to effectuate substantially complete gelatinization. The rice is then pre-dried at an elevated temperature and tempered for an extended period of four to six hours. Plural stages following tempering reduces stress and thus enhances kernel integrity.
