HERMETICALLY SEALED FULLY COOKED AND INSTANTLY a
READY TO EAT RICE, ITS VARIATIONS AND METHOD OF
PREPARATION 9 2 NO 8g
This invention relates to an industrial prdiicRecs ey ia. the food processing industry. In particuldéi ERTS \ : wa invention relates to: 1. A product offering fully cooked and instantly ready " to eat rice in a hermetically sealed container.
Additionally, this invention also relates to several possible variations of this original concept such as adding meats 9i.e. beef, chicken. pork, etc.), and/or seafoods (i.e. squid, mussels, shrimp, tuna, etc) and/or mixed vegetables all prepared with different combinations of spices and seasonings. 2. The process for this invention's manufacture.
Such an invention can, therefore, provide FULL AND
COMPLETE MEALS consisting of rice and viand (i.e. meat and/or seafood and/or vegetables) packed in hermetically sealed containers which allow storage for a minimum of TWO (2) YEARS WITHOUT SPOILAGE. at the same time, allowing the contents to remain INSTANTLY READY TO SERVE during such time. The enormous benefits that can be derived from such a product to a rice eating nation such as the philippines will become apparent upon “ reading the specification and claims set forth hereunder.
This invention is hereby being pursued as an ie alternative to the practice of preparing and ‘then storing full and complete meals consisting of rice or rice and * or cod :
CW ero ORIGINAL 9 \
ERE | , viand in metal, plastic, ceramic, or glass containers which serve as temporary storage media , with a max imum storage period of a few days. for consumption at a later time. In addition, this invention is also hereby being proposed as a useful and convenient substitute for the widewly used practice of using "lunch boxes" or "baons".
This invention finds usefulness in that ready to eat rice can be stored for a minimum of two (2) years with no preservatives nor need for refrigeration. As described above, a variation of this invention can consist of cooked rice mixed with meat and/or vegetables and seasonings : : which will be able to provide ready to serve complete meals with minimal or no preparation at all. In light of the above, this invention will be able to supplant the time-consuming and troublesome exercise of meal preparation and subsequent storage for future consumption.
The following advantages can be derived from the present invention: | ' 1. Prolonged Storage Periods ~
Laboratory tests have indicated that ‘the invention can be kept and stored for a minimum of ™O (@) YEARS, and precludes the use of any preservatives, and the need for refrigeration or freezing. On the other hand, the typical meal (i.e. rice and viand) when stored in plastic, metal, ceramic, or glass containers will not keep for more than a day (24 hours) under normal atmospheric conditions: ; . -3- a
Ce Coy moreover, even if conventional preservation methods such as refrigeration or freezing are employed, spoilage still sets in within weeks. The present invention is the solution to this problem.
In addition, the extended keeping period does not compromise the taste, flavor, and aroma of the stored meal. The taste and flavor characteristics are retained as long as the meal is served within the prescribed keeping time. 2. Labor and Energy Saving
The food product of the present invention will also garner the user several benefits in terms of time and energy savings. These will come in the form of reduced time and energy spent in marketing: picking and choosing ingredients for their quality, freshness, and other desired characteristics: preparations such as washing, peeling, slicing, marinating, flavoring and finally cooking and serving. Whereas a full meal consisting of rice and a viand will have to undergo all these steps for it to be suitable for consumption, the : invention is instantly ready to serve by just opening the container.
Energy savings on the other hand are derived in the form of lower fuel and power consumption because in contrast to meals prepared the traditional way, the invention will save the consumer the energy needed for refrigeration and cooking. : : ; old { \
Co : CE 3. Health Benefits i The mode of storage of the invention is a hermetically sealed aqueous and gaseaous impervious : container such as this case, tin cans, plastic containers (blister packs), and retoratable pouches. This means that such a container is designed to be secured against the entry of microorganism and to maintain the commercial sterility of its contents. That is, the contents of such a container is completely insulated from ambient conditions, allowing such to be subjected to exposure to unsanitary elements such as mud or dirt, or even totally immersed in water, WITHOUT RISK OF CONTAMINATION. On the other hand, traditional storage mediums such as metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic containers used for lunch boxes cannot even provide protection from small insects much less microorganisms. Also, the above ment ioned storage media are more resistant to breaking arising from incidental shocks (i.e. accidental dropping or hitting).
Moreover, the product of this invention is manufactured in strict adherence to internationally accepted good manufacturing practices which assures the quality of all the product's aspects ranging from the quality of the ingredients and raw materials to the adequacy of the thermal sterilization process thereby insuring eradication of all harmful microorganisms. .
Furthermore, the invention is aimed at providing a balanced source of nutrition, with representative - de ~5- ‘
Vo ingredients from each basic food group, namely: carbohydrates (rice), proteins (meat or fish), vitamins and/or minerals (mixed vegetables). i 4. Convenience
It is apparent that the present invention provides much utility and is well suited to the fast paced lifestyles of this modern age. The recent decades have seen the advent of more and more dual income households wherein both husband and wife lead their own careers either due to force of financial circumstances or for the attainment of better standards of living. Such a society leaves little time available to attend to domestic chores, in particular, preparing meals for the children and other members of the family. Thus, the invention is ideal for everyday situations such’ as sit down meals, achool or office lunches, aternocon and midnight snacks, outings and picnics, even during large gatherings such as meetings and conventions. Clearly, therefore, the invention proposes to provide a solution to the customary way of preparing complete meals which has become too time-consuming for the modern household. Also, during states of emergency and/or calamities such as wars, typhoons, earthquakes, this invention can serve as a store of nutrition and sustenance. )
In summary, heretofore, there is no instantly ready to eat rice that is commercially produced and sold in the market that is stored in hermetically sealed containers such as cans, retortable pouches, or plastic containers, : which is pre-cooked and can be stored for prolonged periods without spoiling. Neither is there a commercial food product containing pre-cooked rice as the main ingredient mixed with meats (such as tuna, squid, shrimps, mussels, and other fishes and shell fishes) and/or vegetables and flavorings sufficient to supply a full and complete meal. It is therefore the main object of this invention to completely revolutionize the way meals are traditionally prepared and subsequently stored, in that the food product provides for a full and complete meal in and of itself at the same time, offering several salient advantages to the consumer namely: prolonged storage periods, labor and energy savings, health benefits, and convenience. i
It is, therefore, apparent that tremendous utility can be derived from the present invention. The inventive merits, on the other hand, will become ‘apparent upon reading the detailed description of the developmental process which led to such an invention to come about which is set forth hereunder.
Heretofre, attempts at preserving ready to serve full meals (i.e. rice and viand) for consumption at a later time has met with minimal success. This is mainly due to the difficulties met in preparing and then storing rice, a = 7 n food item that easily spoils, such that it retains all its edible qualities, at the same time suspend the onset of spoiling. Previous attempts by others have led to products such as microwable meals and dehydrated rice products. These products, although they have attained commercial viability, can not provide the consumer the same benefits and utility offered by . the present invention.

Ce
The above clearly indicates that the invention offers distinct advantages over other "processed rice" products.
Moreover, it is only this invention which is able to provide a "full meal" (i.e. rice and viand}, by the very definition of the term, which is ready to eat. The other
"processed rice" products vary with the present invention on one fundamental aspect - the method of preservation -— herein lies the secret of the invention. To prepare dehydrated rice, the liquid portion of cooked rice is first extracted by means of drying, the resulting product is then treated with antioxidants to arrest the spoiling process. For microwable rice, cooked rice is simply blast frozen and subsequently maintained at low temperatures.
In marked contrast to the other rice products. to produce the invention model, UNCOOKED rice grains are placed into the container, water and other ingredients are added, as required, then hermetically sealed. The sealed container is then sterilized in a retort vessel at high pressures and temperatures. In this case, THE CONTAINER, THEREFORE,
ACTS AS A MINIATURE PRESSURE COOKER OR RICE COOKER -
STERILIZING AND COOKING THE RICE AFTER THE - CONTAINER HAS
BEEN VACUUM SEALED. Herein, therefore, lies the inventive merit of the present invention. The norms of food processing dictate that before food is vacuum sealed in a container, this food item must first be pre-cooked.
The process in accordance with this invention is, thus, original and deviates from these conventions.
The container however must be of a character that it is capable of being hermetically sealed and can withstand without melting or altering its character, of being rigid after subjecting to heat of up to 120% temperature and ~o- ;
without loss of its gaseous and aquaeous impermeability.
The above manufacturing process is, thus, new in concept in the sense that it allows instantly ready to eat rice to be stored in hermetically sealed containers for extended periods (at least 2 years) at the same time achieving other ends such as convenience, quality and economy .
Other factor which are peculiar to this product include measuring the proportions of rice and water vis a vis the other ingrdients. Applying the wrong proportions, will result in undesired rice grain texture (i.e. rice may be too hard and dry, or too wet and soggy). Also, each ingredient added to the rice and water mixture has a pronounced effect on the resulting cooked rice grain texture. Therefore, to achieve the desired texture, the correct rice to water proportions have to be employed.
Furthermore, to achieve the extended shelf life of the jnvention model, the thermal cooking and sterilization process must be adequate to ensure eradication of spoilage-inducing microorganisms, this, again is a function of the chemical characteristics of the ingredients used. All these factors, which were extensively researched and analyzed, combine to make the present invention, technically, commercially, and economically feasible. ) ~10- Bb

The can containing the resulting food composition is then hermetically sealed and placed inside a retort vessel where, the food mixture is further cooked and sterilized at temperature of 110 to 120 degrees celsius for 60 75 minutes. The can is then cooled to a temperature of 40 degrees celsius and subsequently packaged.
EXAMPLE VIII
Method for Preparing Pre-cooked Rice with Mixed Vegetable and Chicken Prepared in Chicken Flavorings Packed in a
Retortable Pouch (200 grams net weight)
Uncooked rice grains amounting to between 40 to 70 grams are mixed with 25 to 35 grams of chicken, which have been cleaned, pre-cooked, and chopped into bite size pieces, inside a standard size pouch. A pre-mixture of sliced vegetables is then added. This consists of 2 to 10 grams of carrots, 2 to 10 grams of potato, and 2 to 10 grams of green peas. In a separate process, a spice composition approximating chicken taste and flavor is premixed. This consists of about 0.5 to 7.5 grams of salt, 0.5 to 5 grams of MSG, 0.5 to 8 grams of hydrolyze vegetable proteins, and 2 to 15 grams of chicken flavored powder, all of which are then stirred into a consitent sauce, which is then poured in with the rice, chicken, and vegetable, thereby almost filling the pouch.
The pouch is then pressed to expel excess air inside, and subsequently sealed. Thereafter, it is place in a retort vessel for 50 to 75 minutes subject to temperatures of 110 to 120 degrees celsius. The food product thus produced is cooled to a temperature of 40 degrees celsius. Finally: the pouch is packed in cartons.
It is important to note that in the described methods for preparing precooked rice mixed with meat, vegetables and spices, careful observation must be made in the mixture of uncooked rice grains to the correct proportions as each ingredient possesses characteristics which can materially alter the quality of the end product. Results of experiments show that best results are obtained when the proportions indicated in the examples are employed.
It is understood that the nature and scope of the protection which the herein inventor seeks to obtain is not limited to the description set forth above or to the claims below, as there are many other obvious variations which this iventor believes should be included as well.
