In addition, it was easy for a rice cooker to bring out the original taste of rice by using a large amount of cooked rice and its technique, but on the other hand, it was difficult to distribute it over a wide range due to its storability. In addition, small-scale packages for individuals are made for the purpose of long-term storage, but these items require refrigeration storage and microbial contamination cannot be completely suppressed even when refrigerated, so the storage period is limited. However, there is a problem in that the starch contained in rice is likely to age at the refrigerating temperature and must be promptly consumed.

In addition, in a packaged rice product that can be stored at room temperature, reheat treatment such as hot water bath sterilization or steam sterilization is performed after packaging for the purpose of killing microorganisms after packaging. However, this treatment deteriorates the flavor. There are problems such that the starch becomes moist due to the heat treatment, the rice grains are disintegrated, the original stiffness disappears, and the soft feeling of serving in the container disappears.

[Function] It has been pointed out that if rice cooked rice is sealed in a container after cooking, stuffiness occurs and the storage stability is reduced. The present inventors have found from experiments that the cause of this stuffiness is due to microbial contamination by microorganisms adhering to the container and external air bacteria. Therefore, when cooked cooked rice is placed in a container at a high temperature immediately after cooking, most of the microorganisms are killed, and at high temperatures, it is difficult for outside air bacteria to adhere due to the vapor emanation from the cooked rice. Become. Even better, the oxygen content in the rice grains immediately after cooking and the oxygen content between the rice grains are extremely low, which increases the oxygen concentration in the bag after sealing due to the oxygen content found in chilled cooked rice. In comparison, it has an advantage that it can be significantly reduced. It is important that the temperature at which the cooked rice is cooked in the container immediately after it is cooked does not fall below 50 ° C. 5
Placing it in a container at a temperature of less than 0 ° C. is not preferable because the storage property is significantly reduced.

The purpose of filling the carbon dioxide gas is to suppress the growth of Gavi bacterium and yeast, and the filling concentration in the container is used in the range of 20 to 97 vol%. The purpose of filling nitrogen gas is to prevent crushing of the sealing bag due to bacteriolysis and dissolution of carbon dioxide in water and protein, and to reduce the effect on the taste of cooked rice that may occur due to dissolution of carbon dioxide. Especially. The filling concentration is 77vol
Used below%. The carbon dioxide gas and nitrogen gas concentrations are appropriately adjusted depending on the packaging state and form of cooked rice. The purpose of filling ethyl alcohol in a vapor state is to
Uniform filling is difficult with commonly used liquid spray, and when sprayed on hot cooked rice, the problem that liquid ethyl alcohol vaporizes immediately and adheres to the container surface. However, there is a problem that the amount of spray increases and the taste of cooked rice is greatly affected. However, spraying in the vapor state does not cause a rapid scattering like liquid because of the temperature range similar to the temperature of cooked rice, and the penetration is rapid. In addition, since a small amount of steam is used for filling, the taste is hardly affected. Further, the filling and sealing of ethyl alcohol brings about an effect of suppressing the growth of yeast which is not sufficiently suppressed by carbon dioxide gas. The ethyl alcohol vapor concentration is used in the range of 3 to 10 vol%. According to the method of the present invention, the residual oxygen amount can be reduced to 3% or less immediately after sealing.
