Hereinafter, an embodiment according to one aspect of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as “this embodiment”) will be described with reference to the drawings. However, this embodiment described below is only an illustration of the present invention in all respects. It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. That is, in implementing the present invention, a specific configuration according to the embodiment may be adopted as appropriate. In the following description, for convenience of description, the description will be made with reference to the direction in the drawing.

<Packaging body>
First, the packaging body 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG.1 and FIG.2. FIG. 1 illustrates a package 1 according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 illustrates a cross section taken along line AA of FIG. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the packaging body 1 according to the present embodiment is formed in a rectangular flat shape, and includes a storage portion 11 for storing a predetermined amount of non-washed rice 16. .

The amount of the non-washed rice 16 accommodated in the accommodating unit 11 can be appropriately determined according to the embodiment, and may be determined according to a predetermined scale such as 1 unit (about 140 g), for example. The capacity | capacitance of the accommodating part 11 may be suitably determined according to the quantity of the unwashed rice 16 accommodated. Moreover, the unwashed rice 16 is rice which does not need to be washed when it is cooked by removing rice cake in advance, and the variety of the unwashed rice 16 may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment. Furthermore, cereals other than the unwashed rice 16 may be accommodated in the accommodating portion 11. In the accommodating part 11, the grain which does not require washing | cleaning in the case of cooking rice, such as milled grain, milled grain rice, brown rice, etc. other than the unwashed rice 16, may be accommodated. The cereal rice is composed of, for example, several kinds of cereals such as rice bran, mackerel, acne, pearl barley, etc. mixed with non-washed rice. The cereals to be cooked in the storage unit 11 can be selected as appropriate according to the embodiment.

The upper end of the accommodating portion 11 that accommodates the non-washed rice 16 is sealed by the upper seal portion 12. Similarly, the right end of the accommodating portion 11 is sealed by the right seal portion 13, and the lower end of the accommodating portion 11 is sealed by the lower seal portion 14. Each of the seal portions (12, 13, 14) corresponds to a “seal portion” of the present invention. Further, as will be described later, the package 1 is formed by folding a single sheet, and the left end of the accommodating portion 11 is a folded portion 15 of the sheet. Therefore, the periphery of the accommodating portion 11 is closed, and the predetermined amount of non-washed rice 16 is sealed in the accommodating portion 11.

The package 1 is made of a sheet-like water-soluble edible film. An edible film is a film that can be eaten. Therefore, by preparing the package 1 with such an edible film, the rice 1 can be cooked without washing the rice 16 in the package 1 without opening the package 1. Therefore, according to this embodiment, since the process of opening the package 1 and taking out the non-washed rice 16 can be omitted, a time-consuming rice cooking method can be provided.

Note that the material of the edible film can be appropriately selected according to the embodiment. For example, as an edible film, a film made from water-soluble dietary fibers such as indigestible dextrin may be used. Indigestible dextrin has functions such as a delay action of sugar absorption speed and an intestinal regulation action. Therefore, by using a film made of this indigestible dextrin as a raw material, these functions can be added to the cooked rice cooked together with the package 1.

Moreover, this package 1 is used for cooking rice as it is. Therefore, the edible film used for the package 1 is preferably a film that can be broken during cooking without breaking before cooking. That is, it is preferable that the package 1 is formed of an edible film that is water-soluble so that it can be dissolved by moisture during cooking and heating (for example, heating at about 40 ° C.). Furthermore, the edible film used for the package 1 is preferably a film that does not affect the taste of cooked cooked rice. As an edible film satisfying these requirements, a film made from agar can be mentioned.

A film made from this agar (hereinafter, also referred to as “agar film”) can be produced as follows. That is, the raw seaweed of red algae such as Tengusa and Ogonori is purified, and the generated raw seaweed is boiled with an appropriate composition. Next, the liquid obtained by boiling the raw material seaweed is filtered and separated into liquid agar (agar liquid) and seaweed dregs, and the liquid agar is solidified to form placenten. An agar film can be formed by squeezing and dewatering the balance. When this agar film is dried and pulverized, powdered agar (hereinafter referred to as “powder agar”) can be produced.

Agar is made of polysaccharides such as agarose and agaropectin, and has functions such as suppressing the absorption of sugar. Therefore, by using the agar film, it is possible to add functions such as an action of suppressing the absorption of sugar to the cooked rice cooked together with the package 1.

In addition, in the process of polishing brown rice into non-washed rice, there is a possibility that the paste layer having the umami component may be scraped off, which may impair the taste of the non-washed rice 16. On the other hand, when forming the package 1 with an agar film in this embodiment, the paste powder layer scraped off excessively can be supplemented with agar by cooking the non-washed rice 16 together with the agar film. Therefore, the taste of cooked cooked rice can be improved by using an agar film as the edible film forming the package 1.

<Production method>
Next, with reference to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B further, the preparation method of the said package 1 is demonstrated. 3A and 3B illustrate the process of producing the package 1 according to the present embodiment. In addition, the preparation procedure of the package 1 demonstrated below is only an example, and each process may be changed as much as possible. Moreover, about the preparation procedure of the package 1 demonstrated below, according to embodiment, an omission, substitution, and addition of a process are possible suitably.

First, as a first step, wash-free rice 16 weighed to a predetermined amount is prepared. A known measuring instrument may be used for weighing the washless rice 16. For example, the wash-free rice 16 weighed to a predetermined amount may be prepared by obtaining a predetermined amount of the wash-free rice 16 from the rice bin using a measuring cup. In addition, for example, by using a known device (for example, an automatic packaging machine such as MC501 manufactured by Sanko Machinery Co., Ltd.) that automatically measures and acquires a predetermined amount of the unwashed rice 16, the predetermined amount of the unwashed rice 16 is obtained. You may prepare.

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, as a second step, a sheet-like water-soluble edible film 2 is prepared. And the prepared edible film 2 is processed into the bag body 3 which has the opening 31 in the one end part which is illustrated by FIG. 3B.

In the second step, for example, a rectangular edible film 2 is prepared as illustrated in FIG. 3A. The method of preparing the rectangular edible film 2 can be selected as appropriate according to the embodiment. For example, a plurality of edible films 2 cut in advance in a rectangular shape are held, and a single edible film 2 is taken out from the plurality of edible films 2 that are held, thereby forming a rectangular edible film. 2 may be prepared. Moreover, you may prepare the rectangular-shaped edible film 2 by drawing out the edible film 2 wound up by roll shape only for predetermined length, and cutting.

Then, the prepared rectangular edible film 2 is folded along the folding line 21 so that the right region 25 of the edible film 2 overlaps the left region 26. This folded portion (folding line 21) becomes the folded portion 15 of the package 1 as illustrated in FIG. 3B. Note that the size of the right region 25 may not match the size of the left region 26 as long as the storage portion 11 that stores the wash-free rice 16 can be formed.

After folding the edible film 2, a slight gap is provided from the lower end of the edible film 2, and the edible film 2 is sealed along the seal line 23. For example, the edible film 2 is sealed along the seal line 23 by welding the right region 25 and the left region 26 along the seal line 23 using a known sealing machine that welds the film with heat. Can do.

, Thereby, the edible film 2 is sealed at the lower end side. The sealed portion (seal line 23) becomes the lower seal portion 14 of the package 1 as illustrated in FIG. 3B. The heating temperature and heating time for heat welding for sealing the edible film 2 are appropriately set according to the material of the edible film 2.

After sealing the lower end side of the edible film 2, the right end side of the edible film 2 is sealed. The same method as described above may be used for sealing the right end side of the edible film 2. That is, the right end side of the edible film 2 is attached to the right region 25 and the left region 26 along the seal line 22 by providing a slight gap from the left and right ends of the edible film 2 using the sealing machine. Can be sealed. This sealed portion (seal line 22) becomes the right seal portion 13 of the package 1 as illustrated in FIG. 3B.

In this second step, in this way, one sheet of edible film 2 can be processed into a bag 3 having an opening 31 at one end (upper end) as illustrated in FIG. 3B. it can. In addition, the order which seals the edible film 2 can be changed suitably. That is, the edible film 2 may be sealed along the seal line 23 after the edible film 2 is sealed along the seal line 22.

Next, as a third step, a predetermined amount of non-washed rice 16 prepared in the first step is put into the bag 3 formed in the second step. In the present embodiment, the right end and the lower end of the bag body 3 are sealed by the second step. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, the bag body 3 is formed with an accommodating portion 11 that opens to the upper end side. Therefore, in the third step, the predetermined amount of non-washed rice 16 prepared in the first step is put into the accommodating portion 11 through the opening 31. In addition, the said 1st process should just be implemented before this 3rd process. That is, the second step may be performed first, and the first step may be performed after the second step.

Furthermore, as the fourth step, after the washing-free rice 16 is introduced, the opening 31 of the bag 3 is sealed. For example, the opening 31 can be sealed by the same method as in the second step. That is, the opening 31 of the bag body 3 can be sealed by providing a slight gap from the upper end of the bag body 3 and welding the upper end portion of the bag body 3 along the seal line 24. Thereby, the packaging body 1 in which a predetermined amount of non-washed rice 16 as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is enclosed is completed.

<Cooking method>
Next, the rice cooking method of the non-washing rice 16 enclosed in the said package 1 is demonstrated. Below, the rice cooking method using a rice cooker is demonstrated. However, the method of cooking the non-washed rice 16 enclosed in the package 1 may not be limited to such an example. For example, a package using a cooking utensil such as a clay pot as a rice cooker without using a rice cooker. The washed rice 16 enclosed in 1 may be cooked.

First, the package 1 is put into the inner pot (rice cooker) of the rice cooker without opening the package 1. In this embodiment, since the package 1 is formed of the water-soluble edible film 2, the washless rice 16 can be cooked while being packaged without opening the package 1. In addition, the number of the packaging bodies 1 thrown into the inner pot of a rice cooker can be suitably selected according to embodiment. That is, you may cook several package 1 simultaneously.

Next, a predetermined amount of water is put into the inner pot of the rice cooker. Washed rice 16 weighed in a predetermined amount is enclosed in a package 1 formed of a water-soluble edible film 2. Therefore, what is necessary is just to determine the quantity of the water put into the inner pot of a rice cooker according to the quantity of the non-washing rice 16 enclosed with the package 1. In addition, you may throw in the package 1 after putting water in an inner pot.

And the rice-washing rice 16 can be cooked by closing the lid of the rice cooker and operating the rice cooker. Since the edible film 2 forming the package 1 is water-soluble, the package 1 is dissolved in the water put in the inner pot during the cooking. The timing at which the package 1 melts can be set as appropriate. For example, you may comprise so that the package 1 may melt | dissolve in the stage which put water in the inner pot, and you may comprise so that the package 1 may melt | dissolve in the stage where the inner pot began to be heated at the time of rice cooking.

When the packaging body 1 is partially dissolved in water, the packaging body 1 is torn at the melted portion, and the non-washed rice 16 accommodated in the accommodating portion 11 of the packaging body 1 is discharged from that portion. And finally, the packaging body 1 will melt | dissolve in water all, and all the non-washing rice 16 accommodated in the packaging body 1 will be exposed, and the non-washing rice 16 whole will be in the state which can be cooked.

Here, before the packaging body 1 is dissolved in water, the non-washed rice 16 is sealed in the accommodating portion 11. That is, the packaging body 1 is arranged so as to surround the periphery of the non-washed rice 16. Therefore, the components of the package 1 that can be dissolved in water can be distributed evenly throughout the wash-free rice 16 that has been put into the inner pot. For example, when the packaging body 1 is formed of an agar film, the agar can be spread evenly over the entire unwashed rice 16, and the agar can be attached evenly to the cooked cooked rice.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the unwashed rice 16 can be cooked while being packaged without opening the package 1 in which a predetermined amount of the unwashed rice 16 is enclosed. Therefore, since the process of opening the package 1 and taking out the non-washed rice 16 can be omitted, a time-consuming rice cooking method can be provided.

In addition, when unwashed rice is individually wrapped in a bag made of polyethylene or the like, these unwrapped rice bags become garbage after the unwashed rice is taken out. However, according to this embodiment, since the package 1 is cooked with the non-washed rice 16, the package 1 is not garbage. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the amount of garbage can be reduced and the packaging form of the washing-free rice which considered the environment can be provided.

<Food package>
Next, the food package 5 that houses the package 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the food package 5 according to the present embodiment is formed as a so-called chucked gusset bag, and is configured so that the depth on the upper end side becomes narrow.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the food package 5 according to the present embodiment includes a main body 51 that forms a storage space for storing the five packages 1 as an internal space. The internal space of the main body 51 is divided into five storage parts 511 by four partition parts 52, and each package 1 is individually stored in each storage part 511 so that the package bodies 1 do not contact each other. ing.

Here, the number of the packages 1 accommodated in the food package 5 can be set as appropriate. The food package 5 only needs to accommodate a plurality of packaging bodies 1, and the number of the partition portions 52 and the number of the storage portions 511 formed by the partition portions 52 according to the number of the packaging bodies 1 accommodated in the food package 5. Is determined. In addition, this partition part 52 may be comprised with the main-body part 51 and another member. Moreover, each package 1 may not be accommodated in such a food package 5 but may be individually packaged.

The wash-free rice 16 enclosed in the package 1 contains about 15% moisture, and the package 1 formed of the water-soluble edible film 2 absorbs the moisture contained in the wash-free rice 16. End up. For this reason, if a plurality of packaging bodies 1 are stacked and stored without providing a partition, and the packaging bodies 1 are kept in contact with each other, these packaging bodies 1 may be caught.

On the other hand, in the food package 5 according to the present embodiment, the respective packaging bodies 1 are individually accommodated in the accommodating portions 511 separated by the respective partition portions 52 so that the packaging bodies 1 do not contact each other. . Therefore, it can prevent that the package 1 is stuck.

In addition, such a food package 5 can be appropriately formed by heat processing or the like. The material of the food package 5 may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment, and for example, a film of polyethylene, plastic, nylon, or the like, a vapor-deposited film on which metal is deposited, paper, or the like may be used.

<Others>
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described in detail, the above description is only illustration of this invention in all the points. It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Regarding each component of the said package 1 and the food package 5, an omission, substitution, and addition of a component may be performed suitably according to embodiment. Moreover, the shape and size of each component of the package 1 and the food package 5 may be determined as appropriate according to the embodiment.

For example, the form of the package 1 according to the above-described embodiment corresponds to a so-called three-way sealed package having an upper seal part 12, a right seal part 13, and a lower seal part 14. However, the form of the package 1 is not limited to such an example, and can be appropriately selected according to the embodiment, for example, four-side seal packaging, pillow packaging, or the like. Similarly, the form of the food package 5 according to the above embodiment corresponds to a so-called gusset bag. However, the form of the food package 5 is not limited to such an example, and can be appropriately selected according to the embodiment.

When the package 1 is manufactured in the form of pillow packaging, first, the roll-shaped edible film 2 is squeezed out into a band shape from the processing port and is carried out by sealing along the seal line 22. Pasting is performed. Moreover, the bag 3 having the opening 31 is formed by sealing along the seal line 23. And the washing body 16 is enclosed in this bag body 3, and the packaging body 1 containing the washing-free rice 16 is formed by sealing the opening 31 after that.

In addition, for example, in the container 11 of the package 1, in addition to cereals such as the non-washed rice 16, raw materials for nutrients added to the cooked rice, such as agar and indigestible dextrin, may be enclosed. In addition, raw materials, such as agar and indigestible dextrin, may be enclosed in the accommodating part 11 in the state which wrapped powder with the powder, the water-soluble edible film or the capsule, or the form of a tablet, for example.

In addition, for example, the container 11 of the package 1 has one minute hole having a size such that grains of predetermined cereals (washed rice 16 in the above embodiment) sealed in the container 11 do not pass through. It may be provided at a plurality of locations. In this case, the number, size, and arrangement of the holes may be set as appropriate according to the embodiment so that water enters the accommodating portion 11. Thereby, the predetermined cereal enclosed with the accommodating part 11 can be immersed in water at the early stage at the time of rice cooking.

That is, when the container 11 is sealed, as described above, the package 1 is partially dissolved in water, and the cereal is immersed in water when the cereal is released from the dissolved portion. . However, if the inner pot is already heated at this stage, the time during which the cereal is immersed in water is shortened within the rice cooking time, and the cereal may not be sufficiently cooked.

On the other hand, when one or a plurality of holes of a size that does not allow grains of grains to pass through are provided in the storage unit 11, when a predetermined amount of water is introduced into the inner pot, water enters the storage unit 11 from the hole. It infiltrates and the cereal in the accommodating part 11 is immersed in water. Therefore, according to the said form, the cereal enclosed in the accommodating part 11 can be immersed in water at an earlier stage than said case, and, thereby, the cereal enclosed in the accommodating part 11 can be cooked fully. Can do.

In addition, such 1 or several hole may be provided in the said edible film 2 previously, and may be provided after completing the package 1 in a 4th process. Moreover, the method of forming one or a plurality of holes in the accommodating portion 11 of the package 1 may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment. For example, one or a plurality of holes as described above may be formed in the accommodating part 11 by piercing the accommodating part 11 with one or more needles having a diameter smaller than that of the grains of grains enclosed in the accommodating part 11. Further, for example, one or a plurality of holes as described above may be formed in the accommodating portion 11 by a known laser perforation apparatus.

Further, in the food package 5, the plurality of packaging bodies 1 are individually stored so as not to contact each other. However, when there is no possibility that the respective packaging bodies 1 are attracted to each other, the food package storing the plurality of packaging bodies 1 may not be limited to such an example, and may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment. May be selected. For example, in this case, the partition portion 52 of the food package 5 may be omitted, and the plurality of packaging bodies 1 may be packaged in a state of being in contact with each other.

Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

<Experiment 1>
Conventionally, it is known to cook washed rice with powdered agar. Therefore, Example 1 prepared by cooking unwashed rice enclosed in a package made of an agar film and Comparative Example 1 prepared by adding powdered agar and cooked unwashed rice were prepared. The taste was compared with the cooked case (Experiment 1).

(Configuration of Example 1)
As a package according to Example 1, a package having a configuration similar to that of the package 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 was produced according to the above production method. Specifically, a 22 cm × 22 cm agar film (manufactured by Ina Food Industry Co., Ltd., trade name: Clair 100) was prepared as an edible film forming the package. Next, a 22 cm × 22 cm agar film is cut into a 13 cm × 22 cm sheet (about 2.4 g), and each end of the sheet is sealed with a sealing machine (manufactured by Fuji Impulse Co., Ltd., model number: FR-450-2). Sealed to form a bag. The heating time for heat welding by this sealing machine can be set with a volume from “1” to “10”, and the volume is set to “4” to seal each end. And it puts into the bag which formed unwashed rice (Nishigata Koshihikari) measured to 1 go (about 140g), and sealed the opening of the bag with a sealing machine, and obtained the package concerning Example 1. .

(contents of the test)
As the rice cooking according to Example 1, three of the above-mentioned packaging bodies were produced, and the three packaging bodies were put into a rice cooker (manufactured by Panasonic Corporation, model number: SR-KG051) to perform rice cooking. The “normal (white rice)” course (rice cooking time: about 48 minutes) was used for the cooking rice. On the other hand, as cooked rice according to Comparative Example 1, 2 g of powdered agar (manufactured by Ina Food Industry Co., Ltd., trade name: rice to agar) together with unwashed rice (Koshihikari from Niigata Prefecture, the same as above) weighed in 3 gos (Panasonic Co., Ltd., model number: SR-KG051) was added to cook rice. As in Example 1 above, the “normal (white rice)” course (rice cooking time: about 48 minutes) was used for the rice cooking.

The taste of the cooked rice was evaluated by a taste sensory test with members composed of men and women in their 20s and 60s. Specifically, for each evaluation item of rice grain gloss, whiteness, fragrance, sweetness, stickiness, elasticity, and umami, answers were obtained in a five-step evaluation, and responses were obtained from 36 people for all evaluation items. The result is shown in FIG.

Fig. 6 shows the average value of evaluation points obtained for each evaluation item (rounded to the second decimal place). As a result of the taste sensory test, it was shown that Comparative Example 1 using agar powder was superior to Example 1 packaged with an agar film in terms of gloss, whiteness and stickiness. Moreover, about fragrance, Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were shown to be comparable. Furthermore, regarding sweetness, elasticity and umami, Example 1 was shown to be superior to Comparative Example 1.

This result is presumed to be due to the fact that Example 1 in which unwashed rice was packaged with an agar film was able to adhere agar to cooked rice more evenly than Comparative Example 1 using agar powder. That is, in Example 1, the agar adheres to the cooked cooked rice without any bias, so that the original gloss and whiteness of the rice are impaired as a whole. Presumed to be lower. On the other hand, in Example 1, the agar adheres to the cooked cooked rice without any bias, so that the taste of the rice grains is improved as a whole, not partially, whereby the evaluation of sweetness, elasticity and umami is comparative example 1. It is estimated that it became higher.

In particular, as a result of the above sensory test, it was shown that Example 1 using an agar film was dramatically improved in comparison with Comparative Example 1 using an agar powder in terms of elasticity and umami. Therefore, it turned out that forming a rinse-free rice package with an agar film is very effective in improving the taste of wash-free rice as well as simplifying the cooking process.

<Experiment 2>
Next, Example 2 in which 2 g of powdered agar was added to Example 1 above, Example 3 in which 6 g of powder of indigestible dextrin was added to Example 1 above, and Comparative Example 2 in which rice was washed with no-washed rice itself were prepared. The components contained in each cooked rice were analyzed (Experiment 2).

(Configuration of Examples 2 and 3)
As a package according to Example 2, similarly to Example 1, a bag was formed from a 13 cm × 22 cm sheet (about 2.4 g) made from an agar film. Then, we put unwashed rice (Koshihikari from Niigata Prefecture) weighed into 1 unit (about 140 g) and 2 g of powdered agar wrapped in a piece of agar film into a bag body and sealed the opening of the bag body with a sealing machine Thus, a package according to Example 2 was obtained.

In the same manner as in Example 2, as a package according to Example 3, a bag body was formed of a sheet (about 2.4 g) of 13 cm × 22 cm made of agar film. Then, unwashed rice (Koshihikari made in Niigata Prefecture) weighed to 1 unit (about 140 g) and indigestible dextrin wrapped in a small piece of agar film were put into a bag formed with 6 g, and the opening of the bag was sealed The package according to Example 3 was obtained.

(contents of the test)
As the rice cooking according to each of Examples 2 and 3, two of the above packaging bodies were prepared, and the two packaging bodies were put into a rice cooker (manufactured by Panasonic Corporation, model number: SR-KG051) to perform rice cooking. Specifically, a predetermined amount of water was poured into the inner pot together with the two packaging bodies, and after soaking for 1 hour, rice was cooked in the “normal (white rice)” course (rice cooking time: about 48 minutes). After cooking, the cooked rice was mixed with rice scoop and steamed for 20 minutes. On the other hand, as cooked rice according to Comparative Example 2, washed rice (weighed in Niigata Prefecture, Koshihikari, similar to the above) weighed in two was put into a rice cooker (manufactured by Panasonic Corporation, model number: SR-KG051) and cooked. . The rice cooking conditions according to Comparative Example 2 were the same as the rice cooking conditions of Examples 2 and 3 above.

Then, using the cooked rice as an analytical sample, the moisture, protein, lipid, ash, dietary fiber and sodium were quantified by the following method based on the food labeling standard (Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 10 of 2015). Carbohydrate, energy and salt equivalents were calculated. The test results per 100 g are shown in FIG.
・ Moisture: Atmospheric pressure drying method ・ Protein: Kjeldahl method (nitrogen / protein conversion factor: 5.95)
・ Lipid: Acid decomposition method ・ Ash content: Direct ashing method ・ Carbohydrate: “Calculation formula: 100- (water + protein + lipid + ash content)”
・ Carbohydrate: “Calculation formula: 100− (water + protein + lipid + ash content + dietary fiber)”
Dietary fiber: enzyme-gravimetric method (for Example 3, enzyme-HPLC method)
Energy: “Calculation formula: Energy conversion coefficient: protein, 4; lipid, 9; carbohydrate, 4; dietary fiber; 2”
・ Sodium: Atomic absorption photometry ・ Salt equivalent: Atomic absorption photometry

FIG. 7 shows the result of the component analysis. As shown in FIG. 7, the results of the component analysis indicated that Example 2 contained twice as many dietary fibers as Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 contained about 5 times as many dietary fibers as Comparative Example 2. Generally, the target of daily intake of dietary fiber is set to 20 g. On the other hand, if one meal (about 150 g) of rice according to Example 3 is eaten in three meals in the morning, noon and night, 13.05 g of dietary fiber can be ingested with only the rice. That is, from the results of the above component analysis, it was found that according to Example 3, about 60 to 70% of the target of daily intake of dietary fiber can be achieved with only a meal of cooked rice.

<Summary>
In the dietary life of modern society, dietary fiber tends to be deficient, and rice consumption is decreasing year by year. On the other hand, from the results of the above Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, it was found that according to the present invention, the intake of dietary fiber can be increased while improving the taste of cooked cooked rice. Therefore, the present invention is expected to contribute to improving the eating habits by increasing the consumption of rice by improving the taste and increasing the intake of dietary fiber. Furthermore, it is expected that a diet with high dietary fiber can be maintained and a smart life can be promoted by the dietary life of the cooked rice of the present invention.
