ある。2. Description of the Related Art Consumers wash rice by replacing water many times each time they cook rice. This is bothersome and time consuming to cook. In addition, from the viewpoint of prevention of river contamination by tomato juice, it is desirable to wash rice before reaching consumers if possible. Also, it is desirable to use one that does not require troublesome “scratching”. However, rice that has been washed once, dried and then cooked with water added thereto, and even though it can be eaten deliciously, a washed rice with a high water content that does not require "scratching" has not been produced. Problems in drying the washed rice are putrefaction and crushing of the rice. In other words, when the rice is washed, it absorbs water during that time, and the moisture content increases, and as it is, it rots or molds, and if it is dried to avoid it, the rice cracks first, In addition, since it is crushed and granulated, even if it is cooked, it becomes lazy rice, and it will not be accepted as rice. Therefore, once the polished rice is immersed in water, it is inevitably cracked when it is dried and crushed into the cracked rice.
No. 42647) appeared in the world. Washed rice was not eaten at all even when cooked and eaten, and was not suitable for cooking rice. As the washed rice, for example, washed rice is washed, drained, air-dried or heat-dried (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-141257), and washed rice is washed.
Dry by cooling air or blowing at normal temperature
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-585), a method in which white rice is washed and drained, and then the water content is adjusted to 15% to 16% (Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-220).
No. 63) is known. In addition, as rice that can be cooked without grinding like non-washed rice (non-washed rice), one prepared by a method other than washing with water is conventionally known. Representative examples are polished rice obtained by polishing and removing bran while adding a small amount of water to polished rice, and unwashed rice from which polished rice is washed with alcohol and dried to remove alcohol (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. -546
No. 50). The former is not washed by immersing rice in water, so microscopic rice bran powder and small cave-shaped germs are invisible in the microscopic depressions that are invisible to the naked eye of the rice skin. The rice bran powder group that has entered remains without being removed. The turbidity value of the washing water of the polished rice (the turbidity value of the washing water at the time of washing the rice by the measuring method of the Japan Rice Milling Industry Association. The turbidity described in this specification is the same) is 100P. P. Therefore, the polished rice does not need to be washed, because it is only about M, and therefore, when cooking rice, ordinary polished rice only needs to be rinsed 10 times and only 5 times. In addition, the latter has a problem that alcohol must be completely removed and the taste of cooked rice is extremely reduced. Therefore, those washed or non-washed rice were only impractical. In view of this, the applicant has previously disclosed a "washed rice and a method for producing the same" which does not require the consumer to wash the rice when cooking rice.
62648 (“washed rice” was filed as a divisional application on June 12, 1992.) The present invention performs washing, removing bran, and removing water from milled rice within a short time of several minutes. The present invention relates to washed rice having a moisture content of about 16% or less and having no cracks in rice grains, and a method for producing the washed rice. The above-mentioned invention is a washed rice having a great advantage that it is not necessary for the consumer to sharpen when cooking rice.However, in order to efficiently cook more delicious cooked rice, like the conventional polished rice, It is currently unresolved that it is necessary to "shake" before cooking rice. That is, since the washed rice has a water content of about 16% or less, if water is added to cook the rice and the kettle is heated suddenly, the rice becomes slightly harder. In addition, even if the amount of water is increased, the rice grains become slightly softer and harder to taste. However, compared to conventional rice that requires washing, the moisture content in the rice is somewhat higher. Despite the decrease, it is still necessary to put a scarecrow. In particular, this is necessary in the case of a commercial kettle or an old-style kettle for home use. Therefore, when cooking rice, immersing the rice in water for about 1 hour for conventional rice and about 10 minutes for the washed rice previously provided by the applicant before heating the kama results in more delicious cooked rice. That's what is called "Kashikori" to cook rice cooked more deliciously, but busy housewives and cooked rice shops do not have enough time, so the need for so-called "soon cooked rice" is high. It is. No practical washed rice has yet been provided to meet this consumer need. It's traditional rice is 16% moisture
If the above conditions are reached, mold will grow or decay over time. Therefore, vacuum packaging, oxygen-free packaging, or high-temperature processing sealed packaging is performed as a countermeasure, but there is still a problem in that it has a problem in storage stability, costs are high, and taste is not good.
Conventionally known methods for producing washed rice that can be cooked without washing during cooking are as described above. However, the water content after washing, removing bran, and removing water from the polished rice is higher than that of the conventional method, and the cost is lower. At present, there is no known method of producing washed rice that has excellent storage stability and does not require "scratching".

It has been long been requested by consumers. And the development of a method of manufacturing washed rice that can be cooked without washing has been attempted,
The taste of the cooked rice was not favorable. The problem that has not been solved since its history is described in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei.
(JP-A-2-242647). However, the point of "scare leave" was still unresolved. that is,
`` Kashikori '' is a means of increasing the moisture content by immersing polished rice with a standard moisture content at the maximum specified by law at the maximum before cooking rice to increase the moisture content. This is because it is impossible to distribute the product to the market with an unnecessary moisture content due to the characteristics of rice grains using conventional techniques (since the rice grains immediately start to rot and deteriorate). JP-A-2-242
647 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-240452 will attempt to finish the water content to a high water content without the need for caulking, so that it will be immersed in water or an aqueous solution for a considerably long time to wash rice, remove bran, and remove water. Not only is this a means that cannot be adopted due to cracks in the rice grains, but the industry has never dreamed of providing polished rice with a high water content of more than 16% to the market. Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and rice grains are not cracked even after washing with water, removing bran, and drying.
Consumers put rice and water in the kettle, switch on immediately and cook rice without having to wash and leave rice with a much higher moisture content than the standard moisture content. It will be more delicious than the rice cooked in rice, and in the state of raw rice before cooking, it does not require special sealed packaging, open it,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-moisture-content washed rice having a date that does not cause mold generation or rot even when left in a room, and a method for producing the same.

いうのである。Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is to prepare brown rice or polished rice having a normal moisture content in advance by conditioning the moisture content,
Brown rice is polished to obtain a highly hydrated polished rice of 15% or more and not more than 19% in any case, and then stirred, washed, and bran-removed in water, and then subjected to a washing water and rice grain surface water removing process. After that, the time from the contact of the rice grains with water to the completion of water removal is set to 11 minutes or less, and the moisture content before immersion in water is 0% or more and does not exceed 2%.
A method of washing rice with an average water content of rice grains of 16% or more and not exceeding 19% at the time of dewatering, or browning rice with a high water content of 15% or more and 17% or less without quality reforming, The milled rice is agitated, washed, and bran-removed, and the time period is set to 11 minutes or less. When the average moisture content of the rice grains is removed, the moisture content of the milled rice before immersion in water. More than 0% but not more than 2% at the maximum, and
% And not more than 19%. Of course, in both of these methods, washing and removal of bran are carried out in rice during cooking, and even when agitated, the rice bran is invisible to the naked eye of the rice skin in innumerable microscopic depressions, and micron-sized bran and The remaining bran is removed to the bran flour group that has entered the traces of the germ, the rice grains after water removal have no cracks, and the water content is 16% or more and 19% or more.
It does not exceed, furthermore, when cooking rice, there is no need for "shrinking", and even if it is left indoors, it will be washed rice that will durable.In this specification, "put in water and stir "Natural degree" does not mean complete transparency,
For example, when putting 10 g of rice in 130 g of water and stirring,
That is, the turbidity of conventional rice is not much different from the turbidity of rice.

である。Until 1988, rice (brown rice) had a water content of 15% or less (known as the standard moisture content in the industry), except in some areas, according to national laws. If it exceeds 15%, the test will not pass (it will be recognized as high water content rice), so it is common for farmers to dry the water content to 14% or less in view of the safety factor. Moreover,
Since there is also water release during storage or distribution, the brown rice moisture actually distributed was almost 13% to 14% or less. Although some of them exceeded 14%, they were very few, and those exceeding 14.5% were rarely seen. In addition, when the brown rice is milled, moisture is released due to frictional heat during the milling, and the moisture content is reduced. In addition, the low-moisture ones may increase the water content by refining, but nonetheless, when the rice has become polished rice, the water content has never exceeded 14%. In addition, the upper limit of brown rice moisture was increased by 1% and reduced to 16% or less according to national laws from 1989 produced rice, but the above conditions still remain, and if it exceeds 16%, the rice grains may mold or deteriorate As a result, the brown rice moisture actually distributed is almost 15% or less, and when those brown rice are actually finished to polished rice, the moisture becomes 14% to 14.5%, and those exceeding 15% are seen. There is no place. The washed rice of the present invention uses these rices (standard moisture content) as a raw material.
The manufacturing method is to raise the moisture content of brown rice or white rice in advance by refining, brown rice is whitened, in any case,
In the state of polished rice, the water content is increased to 15% or more and not more than 19%, and then the polished rice is washed and debranched in a water washing process in which it is rapidly stirred in water, followed by washing water and rice grains. Water is removed in the process of removing water adhering to the surface. The average water content at the time of water removal shall be 16% or more and not more than 19%, and the water content will be 16% from the time when the polished rice comes in contact with water for washing.
The time required for the water to be removed to a value not less than 19% and not more than 19% is 11 minutes or less. By doing so, the washed rice of the present invention is obtained. Also, as another manufacturing method, there is a possibility that high moisture brown rice with a normal moisture content of 15% or more and 17% or less will be distributed in the future due to revision of laws and no inspection.
Washed rice can be produced even with such highly hydrated rice. In that case, the brown rice is refined as it is without any purification, and the washing, bran removal and water removal steps are performed within 11 minutes.
At the time of water removal, the average moisture content of rice grains is 16% or more and 19%
Water so as not to exceed the water level. In addition,
In any case, 0% from the moisture content of the polished rice before washing
16% or more with a rising water content not exceeding 2%
% Of washed rice having an average moisture content not exceeding%. The total time from the washing to the completion of water removal is set to 11 minutes or less. The shorter the water content of the rice before washing, the higher the temperature of the washing water, and the more the rice skin is damaged, the shorter the time. It needs to be hidden. For example, when polished rice having a water content of 15.5% is washed at a water temperature of 30 ° C., cracks may occur in rice grains unless the total time is within 90 seconds (see Tables 1 and 2). In addition, "average moisture content" refers to the average moisture content even if the surface portion and the inside of the rice grain have different moisture content, and the means for measuring the moisture content is generally performed. Drying method or a commercially available moisture meter. In addition, “tempering” refers to gradually increasing the water content of rice over time. However, cracking does not occur in rice grains even if the moisture is increased by tempering in the condition of brown rice or polished rice. The means for washing, removing bran, and removing water in the above-mentioned processing method are almost the same as those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-242697 filed by the present applicant. Adjustment of the average water content, that is, adjustment of the degree of water removal, can be performed by changing the ventilation amount, humidity, and temperature of a known water removal device such as a ventilation dryer. Although the above two manufacturing methods are described above, it is important that in any of the methods, the basic principle of the method of the present invention is that there is no extreme moisture difference between the inside of the rice grain and the deep part of the surface layer, and an extreme moisture difference occurs. The portion to be removed is limited to the surface of the rice grains, that is, the time from when the rice grains are immersed in the washing water to when the removal of water is completed is shortened. It is extremely high only in the surface portion of the rice grain, in other words, the water existing on the surface portion is washed, debranched, and dewatered before the water existing on the surface portion does not migrate to the deeper surface portion. For this purpose, the total time from rice washing (washing and removing bran) to completion of water removal is limited to 11 minutes or less.
The average moisture content of the rice grains immediately after water removal is limited to 16% or more and not more than 19%. There is no limitation in the range of the water removal degree, and the water removal degree (dryness) is desirably slightly higher than the water content before washing. This is because the portion (surface layer portion) has an extremely high moisture content at one time, and if it is dried to the original moisture content or less, the shrinkage is large. If a lot of water is left in the area, the water will migrate to the deep part of the surface layer, and when it dries, a large strain will be generated between the part and the inside, causing cracks, so the adhesion of the rice grain surface You should not leave much water. Therefore, it is desirable that the average water content is slightly higher than the water content before the washing. For example, it is also prohibited that the water content after the washing is 15% and the water content after the removal is reduced to 19%. . Conversely, it is forbidden to finish the water content of 19% before washing with 16% water content after removing water. In the former case, it is desirable to increase the moisture content to 16.5% at most, and in the latter case, it is desirable to reduce the moisture content to 19%. In short, when the production method of the present invention is carried out, it is best to finish the average water content of 0.3% to 1.3% up in the range of 0% or more and not more than 2% from the water content before washing. Is the way. Washed rice having an average water content of 16% or more and not more than 19% finished in this way has a turbidity of about 60 P.S. P. Below M
The rice is not turbid even when stirred in water, so that rice washing is not required, and no caulking is required at the time of cooking rice, so that cracks do not occur. And the washed rice according to the present invention is rich in preservability and does not easily mold or rot. Simply increasing the water content of conventional polished rice causes mold and rot in a short time. It is a common wisdom in the industry that molds will surely generate mold when the moisture content exceeds 16%, and in fact, if the moisture content exceeds 16% by 0.1%, the odor and mold will be reduced in a short time. Occurs. Therefore, in order to withstand storage in a normal environment, it has been generally performed as an essential requirement that the water content be 16% or less. This is because mold development and decay were more likely to occur in the bran present on the endosperm surface than in the endosperm of rice grains, and they did not know how to remove the bran. However, since the bran content of the washed rice of the present invention is removed, even if it is bare and stored indoors, the generation of mold and rot are prevented, and the rice has a good date. Even if the days are different, it is inevitable that there is a considerable difference between summer and winter, and it is natural that the lower the water content, the longer the days. However, when the palatability of the taste is emphasized, the high water content is better. Therefore, in consideration of the season, the speed of consumption of the washed rice purchased by the individual consumers or the taste, etc., it is over 16% to 19%. It is necessary and possible to make a product in which a plurality of suitable moisture contents are selected within a width not exceeding%. In addition, the washed rice of the present invention is not a problem as long as it is in a room that is not exposed to the sunshine, but cracks may occur when exposed to direct sunlight, reflected light or strong wind. It is desirable to pack immediately after passing through. And the packaging material may be air-permeable. If it is necessary to further extend the life of the highly water-washed rice having a water content of about 19%, seal it in a breathable or non-breathable bag made of polyethylene or the like, and then place it in hot water at 60 ° C to 70 ° C. Soak for a few minutes. In addition, when the seasoning is in the summer, it is preferable to perform the cooling while cooling so that the rice grains do not ferment. The reason why the water content of the washed rice of the present invention is not less than 16% and not more than 19% is that when the water content is higher than 19%, the sunshine deteriorates (Table 3), and the practicality is lost. At least 16%
This is because "cooking" is required when cooking rice.

A taste test was performed on a panel of names. As the sample rice, polished rice of Akitakomachi produced in 1988 was used, and raw brown rice of the same standard was polished. In addition, the cooking conditions were the same, and the cooking was performed immediately. Sample 1 (control product) is a rice which was prepared by washing normal polished rice in a usual manner and then cooked, and sample 2 (control product) was prepared by washing with hot alcohol and then drying to remove the alcohol and washing rice. It is. Sample 3 (control product) was prepared by cooking rice (known dry-washed rice) which had been washed, then drained and dried by a conventional method, and sample 4 (target product) was rice (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-262647). Sample 5 is a cooked rice having a water content of 16.2%, which was washed with the washed rice of the present invention by the method of Example 3 to remove water. Sample 6 is the washed rice of the present invention prepared by cooking the washed rice of Example 4. The taste was evaluated by a method in which each sampler evaluated whether or not the taste was better than that of Sample 1.

Micron-sized rice bran that does not require special packaging despite its high water content, and penetrates into countless fine depressions and germ blemishes that are not visible to the naked eye of the rice skin even after the packaging is opened. Minute, so that even polished rice with a very high moisture content higher than the standard moisture content is free from spoilage and deterioration due to the absence of nutrients, such as mold fungi, to propagate. Since the polished rice having a water content or the polished rice having a high water content by refining is used, cracks are not generated in the finished polished rice, so that the preservability is extremely good. In addition, all conventional polished rice described in this specification, regardless of the length of time, if cooked immediately without `` scratching '', cooked to the outer soft inner rice, washing rice of the present invention, Compared to polished rice, it has a high water content of 16% or more and does not exceed 19%, and it has good water absorption because bran is removed, so when washing rice, not only rice washing It does not require a "shake holder" and can be cooked immediately, resulting in delicious cooked rice. It has a great effect of saving time. Of course, the cooked rice does not become Gojunai's rice, it has the softness unique to highly hydrated rice and is delicious. The washed rice has a water content of 16% to 19%.
% Can be manufactured within a wide range up to a percentage that does not exceed 100%, so consumers can wash their desired water content according to their assumed storage and storage days, from household women to rice food service providers. It has a great effect that rice can be purchased selectively, and manufacturers can easily purchase rice with a moisture content according to orders from distributors, depending on the season, as well as consumer needs. It also has a great effect that it is possible to produce and ship in accordance with the requirements. Of course, the cooked rice does not have the smell of bran, because the bran powder has been removed.
In addition, the obtained washed rice is more delicious than conventional rice because the bran powder is removed, and furthermore, by the rice washing method of the present invention,
