A research on the production of instant fresh rice

Although fresh instant rice products have been produced and consumed in some countriens such as Korea, they have not yet available in Vietnam. Vietnam is one of the top rice producers in the world and Vietnam has strengths in producing high quality products from rice. It is necessary for Vietnam to study the production of instant fresh rice to diversify the countrys rice products and to meet the demand of consumers. This research’s results show that Dai Thom 8 rice which was grown in Tien Giang Province in the 2021 winter-spring crop is suitable for the production of instant fresh rice. The rice is milled by using a husking machine and the distance between the two rollers of this machine is 0.1 cm. The rice milling time is 80 seconds. The processed rice is soaked in water for 20 minutes, steamed for 35 minutes, then dried at 550C for 160 minutes. It is reconstituted with the ratio of 1:3 (rice:water) for 6 minutes in a 350-Watt microwave.
