In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing river pollution due to stink juice, it is desirable to wash rice before reaching consumers if possible. However, until now, dry-washed rice that has been washed and dried and that can be eaten deliciously even after adding water and cooking has not been produced. Problems in drying washed rice are rotting and crushed rice. That is, when the rice is washed, it absorbs water in the meantime to increase the water content, and if it is left as it is, it will rot or mold, and if it is dried to avoid it, the rice will crack first, Furthermore, since it will be crushed, even if it is cooked, it will become sloppy rice and will not serve as rice. Therefore, once milled rice is soaked in water, if you dry it, cracks will always occur and it will be crushed into granules, so the previously known dry-washed rice is delicious even if cooked and eaten. No, it was not suitable for cooking rice. As the dry-washed rice obtained by washing with water and then drying, conventionally, for example, rice that has been milled is washed and drained and then naturally dried or heat-dried (JP-A-57-141257). , Dried by cold air or air blowing at room temperature (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-11585), washed white rice with water, sliding with water drained, and adjusting water content to 15% to 16% (Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-22063). Are known. In addition, as the rice that can be cooked without being ground (non-washed rice) as well as the dry-washed rice, one prepared by a method other than washing with water has been conventionally known. Typical ones are polished rice obtained by removing rice bran by polishing rice while adding a small amount of water to polished rice,
It is unwashed rice obtained by washing polished rice with alcohol and drying it to remove alcohol (JP-A-60-54650). The former is not washed by immersing rice in water, so it is invisible to the naked eye of rice skin, and there are traces of micron-sized bran powder and small cave-shaped germs that have entered the countless minute depressions. The bran powder that has entered is not removed but remains. The turbidity value of the wash water of the polished rice (the turbidity value of the wash water at the time of washing the rice by the measuring method of the Japan Rice Milling Industry Association. All the turbidity values described in this specification are 100P.
P. It is only before and after M, and therefore, when cooking rice, it is only necessary to wash the normal polished rice 10 times by rinsing it 10 times, so polishing rice does not need to be washed. Further, the latter had a problem that alcohol had to be completely removed and the taste of cooked cooked rice was deteriorated. The conventional washed rice or unwashed rice that can be cooked immediately without washing at the time of rice cooking is as described above, but washing of polished rice, bran removal, and water removal are performed within a short time of several minutes, and there is no crack on the rice skin Dry-washed rice and its packaging method are not known.

米の製造方法について更に詳しく説明する。Means for Solving the Problems The present invention was conducted as a result of earnest research to obtain washed rice which is free from cracks even after washing rice and has an excellent taste of cooked rice. As a result, washing of polished rice in water, The inventors have completed the invention by finding that if the rice bran removal step and the water removal step are performed in an order of magnitude shorter than the conventional one, dry washed rice suitable for cooking rice can be obtained without cracks in the rice grains. In order to achieve the above object, the dry-washed rice of the present invention is the polished rice washed in water,
After removing rice bran and forcibly removing water, the main water absorption part of the rice grain during this time is the surface layer part of the rice grain, and the process from dipping in water to water removal was performed within a few minutes. No cracks were formed on the skin and most of the bran in the depressions on the rice surface were removed, and the average water content was about 13% to 16%. And, in the packaging method of the dry washed rice of the present invention,
The dry-washed rice described above is covered with an airtight packaging material and sealed so that there is almost no excess space between it and the packaging material. If washing and water removal are carried out while the water-absorbing part of the rice grain in each step of washing and water removal is mainly the surface part of the rice grain, cracks will not occur after water removal. The average water content (hereinafter, simply referred to as “water content”) of the rice grains after water removal after maintaining such a water content is 16% or less. The time width in which the water-absorbing part is the surface part of the rice grain varies depending on the washing method, washing conditions, etc., but it must be within a few minutes. The term "within a few minutes" is generally a time shorter than 3 minutes to 4 minutes, preferably 2 minutes to 3 minutes, and more preferably 1 minute or less. Water that has penetrated to the inside of the rice grain during washing causes cracks that cause crushing when dried,
It doesn't become delicious rice when cooked. Water content of rice grain is 1
Not exceeding 6% means that when there is more water,
It is also the upper limit of the water content that can cause cracking due to the subsequent moisture dissipation and prevent spoilage when the rice grains are stored at room temperature. The lower limit of the water content is about 13% because the water content of milled rice is usually about 13% or more. The "water content" of the washed rice in the present invention means the "average water content" when the attached water is removed. Since the water content is an average value, it suffices that the water content be within the above range regardless of whether or not the water content of the whole rice grain is uniform. The water content is determined by using the usual method for measuring rice grains (Food Agency method). The washing method for obtaining the dry washed rice of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a method capable of efficiently removing bran in a short time. For washing the polished rice, a known continuous rice washing machine can be used, but some modification is required. That is, it is desirable to modify the rice washing tank so that it has a small diameter and a rotation speed of 600 rpm or more. Hereinafter, the method for producing dry washed rice of the present invention will be described in more detail.

望ましい。詳細は次の作用の項で説明する。When washing with a rice washing machine, the number of revolutions of the machine and the diameter of the tank are determined in relation to the throughput, but the point is that the milled rice supplied must have the number of stirring times necessary for sufficient rice washing in the tank. It is important that the rice washing machine is designed so that the water content after removal of water, that is, the water content when the attached water is removed, that is, the internal water content is 16% or less, even after only receiving the water. is there. In the first place, after harvesting rice, except for a part of the area, it is compulsory to dry it with brown rice to a moisture content of 15% or less, and if it is more than that, inspection will not pass, so it is usually 13% to 14%. It is distributed as hydrous brown rice. In addition, even if conditioning is performed, water escaping of about 0.5% to 1% is unavoidable during the polishing process, so that the final moisture content of polished rice is about 14%. So normal 14%
There is no risk of spoilage and mold formation in polished rice with a water content before and after, but when such polished rice is washed with the above-mentioned rice washing device, if the tank time when passing through the washing tank is long, Water penetrates deeply into the rice grains, and even if the water adhering to the surface is removed, the internal water content becomes high, causing decay and mold. Then, if the internal water content is removed by drying to prevent it, a strain will occur and cracks that are the cause of pulverization will occur.Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the internal water content, so when the surface-adhered water is removed There is a cost to keep the water content, that is, the internal water content below 16%. For that reason, it is necessary to determine the number of rotations and the size of the tank in consideration of shortening the passage time of rice grains in the rice washing machine in the tank. It is said that there is. In any case, it goes without saying that in order to produce the dry-washed rice of the present invention, the time required for the continuous rice-washing machine to pass through the tank must be shortened by an order of magnitude more than before. In addition, it is necessary to consider the water absorption of polished rice and the temperature of the washing water when setting the in-tank time. That is, the higher the water temperature, the faster the water absorption speed, and therefore the tank passing time needs to be shortened. The point is that in any case of using the continuous rice washing machine, the time for which the rice is present is such that almost no water permeates into the rice grains during rice washing. Next, regarding the number of rotations of the rice washing machine, if the number of times the rice grains are agitated in water is small, the necessary minimum rice washing effect cannot be obtained. In order to stir the necessary number of times, it is necessary to increase the number of rotations of the stirring body of the rice washing machine. In short, when washing is performed by a continuous rice washing machine, it is necessary to set the rotation speed at which the number of agitation necessary for sufficient rice washing is performed within an order of magnitude shorter than the conventional passing time in the tank. It should be noted that the term "sufficiently washed rice" as used herein means that the rice does not smell like bran when cooked as it is, that is, the degree to which rice is generally washed by consumers at present. Innumerable microscopic depressions that are invisible to the naked eye on the surface and micron-sized bran powder that has entered the traces of germs are almost removed, that is, when washing it again, the washing water is It refers to a state in which it hardly becomes cloudy. In this way, after sufficient rice washing is performed, the rice is discharged from the rice washing machine, but in most rice washing machines, since the rice grains are discharged together with a large amount of washing water, it is not necessary to put hair between them. Immediately, not only the washing water but also the adhering water adhering to the surface of the rice grain is removed by the water removing device provided in the subsequent step of the rice washing device. The dewatering device may be a known device as long as it has a function of removing the washing water and the attached water, but it should not take time to remove the washing water and the attached water. because,
Although we did not allow water to be absorbed inside the rice grains in the rice washing process, it takes time to remove the washing water and attached water in the dewatering process, and it is meaningless that the washing water and attached water are absorbed inside the rice grains. is there. Of course, there is a known water removing device that can remove most of the washing water and the adhering water, which cause water absorption, in a short time close to the moment, so it should be selected. When the polished rice is passed through the washing process and the water removing process as described above, the polished rice is washed in an extremely short time,
Since water is removed, the water content in the rice grain hardly penetrates, and when it is discharged from the water removal device, the water content is about 13% or more and does not exceed 16%. However, there are almost no cracks on the surface,
Of course, it is possible to obtain dry washed rice that has not been crushed. Although it can be easily imagined that the water content of the rice grains after removal of water is higher than that of the inside, the average water content per grain does not exceed 16%. That is, the high water content portion of the surface is extremely thin, and therefore, even cracks do not occur. In other words, the traditional concept is to wash rice,
Immediately, it is said that water is absorbed into the inside of the rice grain, and the whole grain becomes high in water content. To remove it, there was nothing but drying. However, in the present invention, it is only the very surface that is made high in water content even after washing rice, and the water content is not made high even in the inside. It is still in the state. It means that the water content does not exceed 16%. The moisture on the surface of freshly removed rice grains will soon migrate to the inside and be balanced. As described above, the dry-washed rice of the present invention is produced by completely treating each process from washing to removing water in a very short time until it absorbs about 2% of water. The surface of the dry-washed rice of the present invention is more brittle than that before washing with water, and fine scratches are generated when rubbing with each other. The details will be described in the following section of action.

して洗うことである。[Function] Generally, the cause of cracks in rice that has been dried by rinsing with water after washing with water is that rice grains, which have weak strain characteristics, are partially expanded and contracted each time they absorb water and remove water. This is because it is generated and strain occurs. If it is possible to suppress the amount of water absorption and water removal to the extent that expansion and contraction that are factors of strain do not occur at the time of washing rice and removing water, wash polished rice even if it is immersed in water. Even if it is dried, no crack will occur. By the way, milled rice has extremely peculiar physical properties with respect to water absorption, and it is necessary to deal with it after first understanding it. That is, polished rice is immersed in water,
The water content at the saturation point reaches about 30% in about 1 hour. However,
This also causes a considerable time difference depending on the water temperature and rice quality.
However, in any case, the relationship between the immersion time and the increase in water content does not proceed at a constant rate, but rather progresses in an extremely anti-acceleration manner. Therefore, immediately after the immersion, the water absorption amount for the first 1 second rises to the extent that it is comparable to the water absorption amount for the last 10 minutes, and the water absorption amount increases most at first.
Furthermore, even if the analysis is performed for the first 1 second, the last 0.
It goes without saying that the water absorption amount for the first 0.1 seconds is much larger than the water absorption amount for 1 second. As described above, the water absorption property of rice is such that the water absorption rate gradually decreases with time immediately after being immersed in water. Therefore, since it absorbs a considerable amount of water immediately after immersion, even for an extremely short time,
In order to prevent distortion when dried, it is necessary to complete the washing of rice within a short period of time before that and to immediately remove water. On the other hand, it is necessary to consider the washing characteristics of polished rice in connection with this. In other words, the surface of milled rice has innumerable and minute indentations that are invisible to the naked eye, and in order to remove the starch granules and bran granules that have entered them, it is absolutely necessary to dip the rice grains into water. It is necessary to stir and wash rice at least 30 times or more. The reason for this is that the depressions in which the bran powder has entered are deeper than the opening surface and most of them are narrow micron-sized opening surfaces, so it is necessary to remove the bran powder that has entered the back. There is no other choice but to float the bran powder and wash it away while soaking it in water and stirring vigorously. However, it is necessary to carry out such washing of rice within a short time as described above.
When producing the dry-washed rice of the present invention based on such a consideration, in the washing step, the polished rice is soaked in water for a very short time, the rice is washed to remove the bran, and immediately removed. The washing process and the water adhering to the surface are removed by the water process. The time from immersion in water to removal of water is within a few minutes, and the water content of rice when removed is within the range of not more than about 13% to 16%.
As a result, when the rice is washed, water does not penetrate into the inside of the rice grains, and crushed granules as well as sized dry washed rice without cracks in the rice grains can be obtained. Also, even if it is soaked in water again and washed with rice, the water does not become turbid and the turbidity is 76 P.s. P. It is M or less. Incidentally, this 76
P. P. The turbidity value called M is the lower limit of the numerical value in the measuring method of the Rice Milling Industry Association, and the turbidity value lower than this value, that is, when the washing water is clean, cannot be measured.
However, since there was no rice with a high degree of bran removal that could not be measured by this measuring method, it could be measured sufficiently by this measuring method, but the dry washed rice of the present invention has a turbidity value. Is too low to measure with this method. Therefore, in the present specification, "76 PP.
The expression "M or less" means that the turbidity is so low that it cannot be measured by the conventional measuring method. That is why. Incidentally, in the present specification, it means “dry” which is expressed as dry washed rice, but even if the rice grains are stored at room temperature, the limit is such that they do not rot or mold, that is, the water content is about 16%. It means that the water content does not exceed the limit. or,
The meaning of "crack" in a rice grain is a crack that can be clearly identified with the naked eye. Further, in the meaning of "polished rice", it refers to not only completely polished rice but also excess polished rice and half-polished rice. Further, the meaning of "washed rice" or "washed with water" is to wash by stirring in a large amount of water such that the rice grain group is immersed in water.

指すのである。Next, the dry washed rice of the present invention is packaged in a substantially degassed state. The surface of dry-washed rice is more brittle than that before washing with water, and if the rice grains rub against each other during transportation, the surface of the rice grains becomes rough, that is, countless minute scratches occur, causing a deterioration in taste. Becomes Therefore, regarding packaging, it is necessary to prevent the rice grains from rubbing against each other. This object can be achieved by the packaging method of the present invention. That is,
Since there is almost no excess space between the encapsulated dry-washed rice and the packaging material, rice grains are suppressed from moving,
The positional relationship between the grains remains almost unchanged. Therefore, even if the packaging bag is stood up or laid down when it is carried, the rice grains do not rub against each other in the bag, so that no roughness occurs. Further, even if external pressure is applied during storage or transportation, it can be prevented from being applied to the rice grains inside, so that skin roughness and crushing do not occur. Originally, rice is
Unless the vacuum bag cannot be filled with an inert gas, it is covered with a packing material having a ventilation hole. There are various reasons, but the first reason is to maintain the quality of rice. In such a packaging form, when carrying during transportation, the packaging bag stands up or is laid down, but each time,
The apparent volume of rice grains in the bag changes. That is, when the bag is laid sideways, the rice grain group becomes thin and the apparent volume is the smallest, and when standing upright, the rice grain group moves downward and becomes thicker and the apparent volume becomes larger. The increased apparent volume is occupied by the air that has entered through the vent holes provided in the bag material. On the other hand, when the standing bag is laid down, the rice grains inside spread out thinly and the apparent volume becomes small, so the excess air is discharged from the ventilation holes of the packaging material. In this way, the rice grain groups in the packet move each time the rice bag is stood up or laid down, and at that time, the rice grains slide against each other. It cannot be said that such rubbing is not harmful even with conventional rice, but dry washed rice is bran powder that adheres to rice skin by washing rice, that is, so-called "clothes".
However, the harmful effect of the rubbing of bare rice skins on each other is great because only the corresponding ones are removed.However, in the packaging method of the present invention, the excess air in the packaging bag is generally removed with the smallest apparent volume of the rice grain group. Since it is sealed air-tightly, even if the direction of the bag changes and the apparent volume increases, that amount of air does not enter from the outside, so it keeps the original form with the smallest apparent volume. The result is that the rice grains do not come into contact with each other as a result. next,
Even if external pressure is applied during storage or transportation, it is possible to prevent that pressure from being applied to the rice grains inside, when storing this type of rice wrapping bag, it is usually laid down next to it and stacked. In the packaging method of the present invention, as described above, the packaging material is airtight and is degassed and sealed so that there are almost no excess voids, but when the packaging bag is laid down sideways as described above, it is the most Since the apparent volume is small, it can be said that the surplus space is the largest between the rice grain group and the packaging material. Therefore, even if the packaging bags stacked on top of this packaging bag are overloaded, the air occupying this surplus space is pressed and the rice grains are not so much affected. In addition, the airtight packaging material in the present invention means not having air permeability at all, such as aluminum vapor-deposited plastic film and special plastic film, but not having air holes and the like. Is also meant to be low, for example,
It also includes ordinary polyethylene film and film-coated paper bags. Further, the meaning of "sealed so that there is almost no excess space" described in the present specification means
Like a common vacuum bag, depressurize below atmospheric pressure,
It is not a pressure-tightened state, but rather a slight gap, but it indicates the degree of deaeration and the degree of sealing that does not cause the rice grain group to move downward and become thicker when the sleeping bag that has been laid down is raised. .

Water of 3.degree. C. was poured into the rice washing machine to obtain a water content of 14.2%.
Nagiho polished rice from Wakayama is continuously added at a rate of 1 kg per minute. Polished rice enters Zabun into the water in motion in the rice washing tank of the rice washing machine, is stirred and washed in water, is discharged from the outlet of the rice washing machine together with the washing water, and immediately removes water in the next step. At this point, the washing water and the adhering water are forcibly removed and discharged from the water removing device.

It was less than M and cooked in water without washing, but because it was washed well, it had no bran odor and did not lose its freshness and became delicious rice. In addition, the washed rice treated as described above is put in a polyethylene packaging bag and laid sideways, and light pressure is applied by flat plates from both upper and lower surfaces to flatten it and to discharge most of the excess space in the bag. Then, it was lifted up and sealed, and it was shaken by standing or tilting it, but there was almost no movement of rice grains in the bag. Moreover, this was subjected to a weighting and delivery test, but the rice grain did not become rough.

It has the effect as shown in (4). (1) The dry-washed rice of the present invention can be produced at a low cost, and when it is cooked, it can be cooked as it is without becoming cloudy even if it is put in a pot with water, which has been a long-standing desire. It is possible to save the labor of consumers to wash rice. In addition, the rice surface has no cracks, and most of the rice bran in the depressions on the rice surface are removed, so the cooked rice has no odor of rice bran, is shiny, and is delicious. In addition, the product of the present invention in which almost all the bran powder is removed does not deteriorate in freshness as compared with conventional rice and has good storage stability. (2) The washed and washed rice of the present invention has a higher vitamin content than conventional rice. This is because the product of the present invention is washed rice for a short time, so that water-soluble vitamins are less likely to flow out, and consumers can eat it without washing rice. (3) The rice of the present invention has a good washing yield and is socially beneficial. This is because conventional rice washing is done by high pressure, either manually or mechanically, so the substance that originally wants to remain on the rice skin will be peeled off and washed away, but with the product of the present invention, the water in the rice washing tank can be stirred at high speed. Since the rice is washed, pressure is not applied to the rice skin, and as a result, the substances other than the remaining bran, which deteriorate the taste, are hardly peeled off. (4) The dry-washed rice of the present invention can be cooked simply by adding water, so that the river is not contaminated by the sharpening juice. Further, according to the method for packaging washed rice of the present invention, the movement of rice grains inside the package can be suppressed and the external pressure can be prevented as well. Therefore, the damage of the rice due to the load generated during storage or the rice grains during transportation, etc. No rubbing, no roughening or broken rice. For this reason, it becomes possible to safely deliver the dry-washed rice, which has poor strength, by the current transportation method.
