α-Rice Polished from α-Rice Grain Steamed under High Pressure

Abstract

We polished a-rice grain steamed under high pressure and the polished a-rice had following properties.
1. We polished the a-grain as easy as ordinary grain.
2. Cracked rice ratio decreased and net polishing ratio improved after steaming under high pressure.
3. The a-rice was digested as well as ordinary a-rice, a-White bran had good digestibility, too.
4. The components that affected yeast growth such as K, Mg moved inside and diffused outside during processing.
