Here, each component and the sensory evaluation value will be described. The sensory evaluation values include the stickiness and hardness of cooked rice, which may be estimated by the above components.
For example, stickiness correlates with amylose, which is thought to be due to the low viscosity of amylose. Therefore, it can be estimated that the lower the amylose content, the higher the stickiness value. The amylose content also influences the degree of α-formation, and the lower the content, the easier the α-formation tends to proceed. Similarly, the amylose content can be used to estimate the degree of α-formation.

Instead of the above estimation method, the stickiness or hardness of a plurality of predetermined cooked rice is measured in advance, and the sample cooked rice is irradiated with near-infrared rays to obtain the spectrum, and the stickiness is appropriately obtained after the second derivative treatment or the like. In some cases, a wavelength having an influence on the degree of hardness or hardness is searched for, a predetermined coefficient value is selected, and from this, an equation similar to the above-described component analysis is calculated. That is, the wavelength λ 1 n

For example, the hardness Y of cooked rice is calculated by the above formula.
And the water content X m are calculated. These figures are shown in Figure 3.
This is the configuration displayed on the two-dimensional map shown in. The three characteristic lines are water addition / decrease change characteristic lines, which are curves estimated according to product types and the like. The operation of the above example will be described. A predetermined amount of sample cooked rice is put in the sample cell 7, and this is loaded in the sample cell holder 8. While driving the diffraction grating 6, the spectrum data in the vicinity of a predetermined wavelength is taken in. The calculation unit calculates the hardness degree of the moisture content X m of the brown rice to be measured based on the above equation.

These results will be displayed on a two-dimensional map. Now, for the rice cooked at point A, the water content is 60%.
Although the hardness is evaluated to be hard, it can be seen that it is better to increase the water content to make cooked rice with a water content of about 62%. It is evaluated that the cooked rice at point B has a moisture content of 62% and a soft hardness, but it is known that it is better to reduce the amount of water addition to make the rice with a moisture content of about 60%.

As described above, when it is necessary to raise or lower the water content of cooked rice, the step of affecting the water content is adjusted, for example, the dipping time by the dipping device 3 is adjusted to obtain cooked rice with good taste. be able to. That is, in order to increase the water content, it is necessary to extend the dipping time. Therefore, a low speed correction command signal is output to the speed change mechanism (not shown) of the conveying device 11, and conversely, in order to reduce the water content, the dipping time is shortened. A high speed command signal is output to the speed change mechanism.
