Abstract
A process for making reconstitutable rice grains by cooking a mixture of rice flour, water and hydrogenated oil in a cooker-extruder to produce a partly gelatinized mixture, forming the partly gelatinized mixture into rice-grain shaped pieces and then drying and cooling the pieces to room temperature to provide the reconstitutable rice grains. Also, the resulting reconstitutable rice grain product.

A process for the preparation of reconstitutable rice grains comprising:
- cooking a mixture of rice flour, water and hydrogenated oil in a cooker-extruder operated about at about 100-500 rpm and at a temperature of about 70-150° C. to produce a partly gelatinized mixture,
- forming the partly gelatinized mixture into rice-grain shaped pieces, and
- drying and cooling the pieces to room temperature to provide the reconstitutable rice grains.
Rapidly reconstitutable rice grains comprising a partly gelatinized matrix of a rice flour which contains a hydrogenated oil.
Rapidly reconstitutable rice grains which have surface pores.
Rapidly reconstitutable rice grains which have a density of about 0.3 to 0.7 kg/1.
