いる。2. Description of the Related Art As a recent trend, rice consumption has continued to decline, and due to rice import pressure, the reduction of rice has been repeatedly reduced, and rice fields have been left in a state of devastation. When the import of food products including rice decreased due to various factors,
Even if you try to utilize a once degraded rice field, it is said that it will take only a few years for it to be restored to its original state, so it will not be possible to deal with it. Fortunately, rice is superior to imported rice, which is cheap in terms of taste, so domestic rice can compete with rice even if it is expensive. However, rice consumption has continued to decline due to changes in eating habits, and further decline is expected. One of the causes is that it takes too long to cook rice before eating it. In the past, the spread of electric kettles allowed rice to be cooked deliciously without failing, and the pain of cooking rice was released, but the proposition of shortening the cooking time, which cannot be solved even with electric kettles, is posed. ing.

情である。この早炊き貯蔵米を一般家庭まで普及させる
には、早炊き貯蔵米専用あるいは早炊き貯蔵米と普通米
との切替え可能な電気釜の普及が不可欠である。In response to the above-mentioned proposition, the rice cooked up to now can be shortened to about one-third, and can be stored for a long period of time, so that cooked rice can be obtained just like normal rice cooked by the electric kettle. Stored rice is provided to the market,
Has achieved high results. However, it is still in the rice cooker's stage so far, and it has not yet spread to ordinary households. In order to spread this cooked cooked rice to general households, it is indispensable to spread an electric kettle exclusively for cooked cooked rice or capable of switching between cooked cooked rice and normal rice.

でき、重宝である。On the other hand, there are stored rice which can be immediately eaten by heating electromagnetic waves in a microwave oven or the like, and cooked rice which can be thawed in a microwave oven and further heated and eaten, like bread or cup noodles. Things that can be done are on the market. These are useful for people who cannot take cooking time or who are unfamiliar with cooking, because they can be used without time and cooking skills.

たとしても、米の総需要が増加に転じる保証はない。The above-mentioned cooked and stored rice is added with approximately the same amount of water as 1/3 of the normal cooking time.
You can get freshly cooked rice just by heating it for a while.
It is very convenient because you can eat it immediately without steaming. However, although this precooked cooked rice can meet the proposition of shortening the cooking time, an electric kettle dedicated to this is indispensable for always stable and delicious cooking without time and effort, and this electric kettle is used for ordinary households. It is difficult to disseminate. Moreover, even if a special electric kettle spreads to ordinary households, there is no guarantee that the total demand for rice will start increasing.

ある。The above-mentioned stored rice and cooked rice are convenient because they can be eaten like bread or cup noodles, but when they are heated by electromagnetic waves, water is removed from them and the surface of the rice becomes stiff and fluffy. It becomes rice and the texture of freshly cooked rice cannot be obtained. Conversely, the moisture returns to the surface and the texture is significantly reduced. In addition, in order to obtain the texture of freshly cooked rice, it is possible to cook rice directly by electromagnetic heating, but a large amount of bubbles are generated and water spills from the container,
On the other hand, water becomes insufficient, while the rice in the outer periphery of the container becomes excessively water and becomes squishy rice. On the other hand, the rice in the center remains solid due to lack of water, and rice is cooked directly by electromagnetic heating. Is extremely difficult. Therefore, the above-mentioned stored rice and cooked rice are not widely spread, and even if the proposition of shortening the cooking time can be cleared, the total demand of rice is not yet increased.

Even if a microwave oven which is now widely used in most homes is used, the texture of freshly cooked rice can be obtained and various uses can be achieved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stored rice for electromagnetic rice cooking and a product thereof which can meet the above-mentioned requirements, and can also meet the proposition of shortening the cooking time and increase the total demand of rice.

Since we can deal with the case where the number decreases due to various factors, we conducted diligent research. As a result, water was added at a ratio of 1 to 1 of the weight of the pre-cooked and stored rice having a moisture content of 36% by weight, and the water of about 0.7 was absorbed into the pre-cooked rice. By freezing the pregelatinized rice with the rest of water of 0.3 and thawing and heating for 5 minutes by electromagnetic wave heating in the frozen state, the texture of freshly cooked rice can be obtained. The present invention has been accomplished by discovering that both the texture and the cooking time can be cleared and the rice obtained in addition can be used for various purposes.

Immediately put it in a sterile gas barrier bag, put it in a vacuum cooling container with the bag open, seal the vacuum cooling container, decompress and rapidly vacuum cool.
If vacuum cooling is continued in this vacuum cooling container until a vacuum state of about 600 mmHg can be maintained for 10 seconds to 30 seconds, steamed rice or dry steamed rice will be at approximately room temperature.
Aseptic air is sent into the vacuum cooling container to bring it to atmospheric pressure, and the mouth of the bag containing the aseptic air in the vacuum cooling container is sealed. Then, open the vacuum cooling container, take out the steamed rice or dry steamed rice in a bag with a sealed mouth, and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours to 48 hours to homogenize the pregelatinized rice starch, in other words, aged it, Early cooked and stored rice, that is, pregelatinized rice 2 is obtained. The pre-cooked and stored rice in this state, the pregelatinized rice 2, is in the form of lumps, so if it is kneaded and crushed from the top of the bag to make it into a single grain, it will be as if it were normal distribution rice before cooking rice.

It is necessary to freeze the pregelatinized rice 2 and the water 3 before the water 3 is absorbed by the water 2 and all the water 3 is absorbed. That is, water 3 is added to a weight ratio of 1 of 15% by weight of pregelatinized rice 2 at a weight ratio of 2, and water 3 is added to a weight ratio of 1 of 60% by weight of pregelatinized rice 2. Add at a weight ratio of 0.5. For the pregelatinized rice 2 having a water content value between these minimum and maximum values, water 3 having a proportional weight ratio is added (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, a predetermined amount of the added water 3, that is, 90 to 7
After the 0% water 3a is absorbed into the pregelatinized rice 2, the pregelatinized rice 2 is frozen together with the remaining 10 to 30% of unabsorbed water 3b to obtain the above-mentioned stored rice 4 for electromagnetic cooking ( (See FIG. 4). A predetermined amount of this stored rice 4 for electromagnetic rice,
For example, if 200 g is put in the container 5, and if necessary, ingredients 6 and seasonings 7 are added and sealed and sealed with a seal lid 8, it becomes a stored rice product 1 for electromagnetic rice (see FIG. 4) and is stored frozen. It

近づき、あと処理がなお一層容易になるからである。The water content of the pregelatinized rice 2 is in the range of 15% by weight to 60% by weight as described above, but is preferably in the range of 35% by weight ± 2% by weight to 60% by weight. The reason is, as already mentioned, 0.25 kg / cm.
When steamed with 2 to 1.5 kg / cm 2 of steam for about 8 to 12 minutes, the degree of pregelatinization is about 90 to 99%, and the water content is about 35% by weight ± 2% by weight.
This is because the steamed rice must be dried by a separate dryer to make it less than 35% by weight ± 2% by weight.
On the other hand, in order to set the water content value in the range of more than 35% ± 2% by weight to 60% by weight, it is necessary to add water 1 to 3 times in the steaming process as described above. This is because the water addition operation has been increased, and the water content of 60% by weight to 65% by weight, which is said to be even better, is brought closer to the delicious water, and the post-treatment is further facilitated.

を増加させ得ることができる効果がある。As described in detail above, according to the invention of claim 1, when the electromagnetic wave is heated, the pregelatinized rice and the unabsorbed ice water are thawed. Therefore, the starch and the non-absorbed water produced from the pregelatinized rice are thawed. It mixes with the water for a minute and adheres to the surface of the rice, preventing the water from flying from the surface of the rice during electromagnetic wave heating to harden the rice to give it a crunchy texture. The obtained electromagnetic wave heating time is also only the time for thawing and heating. Therefore, even when using a microwave oven that is popular in most homes now, it is possible to obtain the texture of freshly cooked rice and support a wide variety of uses,
Moreover, the proposition of shortening the cooking time is cleared, and there is the effect that the total demand for rice can be increased.

ることになる。Further, according to the invention of claim 3, a part of the rice starch has already been converted into an alpha, and the water content thereof is 15% by weight to 6%.
Since it is the rice that has been cooked and stored at 0% by weight, the remaining non-pregelatinized rice starch is pregelatinized, and the lack of water will be replenished. Therefore, the cooking time is shortened and freshly cooked rice is obtained. That is, the effect of the above invention can be realized.
