Abstract
Recently, rice powder is paid attention because it can be processed to noodle, bread, cake, etc., in Japan. Generally, rice is crushed after immersed by water because rice is hard. A lot of energy is necessary for drying, and the milling flour cost is high. The manufacturing method that can be milled by non-heating is requested by the milling flour industry. Authors have developed the food processing device using instantaneous high pressure. Effects of the processing by this technology are milling flour, sterilization, softening and the juice extraction by non-heating. In this paper, the rice powder manufacturing device using the instantaneous high pressure is developed. The possibility of the milling flour without immersing is clarified. Moreover, the amount of the milling flour per hour and element of rice powder are assessed by experiment.
