Notes:
The technology to produce an acceptable canned rice was investigated. Conventional raw and parboiled rice exhibit excessive starch leaching, loss of structural integrity, discoloration, unpalatable odors, and poor cooking qualities when canned. Instant parboiled rice which has been hydrated in boiling water before canning yields a superior product Objective color values are improved by flushing the hydrated rice with tap water before canning. Canned grains are free flowing and yield a product similar to freshly cooked rice. Without hydration, the product tends to be a solid mass of chalky and crumbly grains. A direct relation exists between subjective values for appearance and texture of canned rice.
