Abstract
This invention is a process to modify the physical and chemical characteristics of powder or flour obtained from rice by-products from the rice peeling and polishing process, generating reconfigured grains, similar in appearance, shape, consistency, and uses, to normal peeled and polished rice grains. Also, the invention allows adding additives to give different flavors and colors, as well as nutritional additives and modifiers, during this reconfiguration process. The process uses rice by-products as raw materials, and the resulting product is reconfigured rice. To obtain this product, raw materials are ground, water is added and, eventually additives are added in order to produce a liquid mixture. The liquid mixture is placed in a double-screw extruder at 60° C. and 70° C. temperatures, and humidity between 34% and 40%; then, the mixture is put through a matrix to generate continuous, flexible, and humid filaments. The said filaments are cut into small segments and then dried to a humidity no higher than 15%, with the appearance, shape, and consistency of peeled and polished rice grains. The invention also includes reconfigured rice obtained from the procedure.
