  • Prodwrkshp 3.Qxd
    California Rice Production Workshop, v15 Variety Selection and Management Introduction and History Since its beginning in 1912, California’s rice industry limited its produc - tion and marketing largely to a few short and medium grain japonica varieties, developed from stocks originating in Japan and China. These varieties produced good yields of quality rice in the dry, temperate cli - mate of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. For the grower, the choice of variety to plant was relatively simple because the few varieties available were similar in performance, yield potential and milling qual - ity when properly managed. Included were Colusa, Caloro and Calrose released in 1918, 1921 and 1948, respectively, and Earlirose, a productive, early maturing, proprietary variety, released in 1965 which soon became a popular variety for cold areas and/or late plantings. These were the major rice varieties grown in California until the early 1970’s. Then, the variety picture began to change significantly. A powerful impetus for this was the enactment of California Rice Research Marketing Order that established the California Rice Research Board in 1969. This grower initiative provided significant and regular funding to hasten development and release of new varieties. The medium grain variety CS-M3 was released in 1970 and the short grain variety CS-S4 in 1971, from rice hybridizations made in 1946 and 1957 at the Rice Experiment Station (RES) at Biggs, CA. CS-M3 gained wide acceptance and competed with the older Calrose for acreage. But, CS-S4, though an improvement over Caloro, was not widely grown because of its suscep - Publicly devel - tibility to low temperature induced sterility.

  • STAR SWEETENERS the Best of the Naturals
    STAR SWEETENERS The Best of the Naturals Become sugar savvy! The term "natural" as applied to sweeteners, can mean many things. The sweeteners recommended below will provide you with steady energy because they take a long time to digest. Natural choices offer rich flavors, vitamins and minerals, without the ups and downs of refined sugars. Sugar substitutes were actually the natural sweeteners of days past, especially honey and maple syrup. Stay away from man-made artificial sweeteners including aspartame and any of the "sugar alcohols" (names ending in ol). In health food stores, be alert for sugars disguised as "evaporated cane juice" or "can juice crystals." These can still cause problems, regardless what the health food store manager tells you. My patients have seen huge improvements by changing their sugar choices. Brown rice syrup. Your bloodstream absorbs this balanced syrup, high in maltose and complex carbohydrates, slowly and steadily. Brown rice syrup is a natural for baked goods and hot drinks. It adds subtle sweetness and a rich, butterscotch-like flavor. To get sweetness from starchy brown rice, the magic ingredients are enzymes, but the actual process varies depending on the syrup manufacturer. "Malted" syrups use whole, sprouted barley to create a balanced sweetener. Choose these syrups to make tastier muffins and cakes. Cheaper, sweeter rice syrups use isolated enzymes and are a bit harder on blood sugar levels. For a healthy treat, drizzle gently heated rice syrup over popcorn to make natural caramel corn. Store in a cool, dry place. Devansoy is the brand name for powdered brown rice sweetener, which contains the same complex carbohydrates as brown rice syrup and a natural plant flavoring.

  • Mechanizing the Conditioning Process of Rice Before Puffing
    Oryza Vol. 48 No. 2, 2011 (114-118) Mechanizing the conditioning process of rice before puffing Minati Mohapatra* and S. K. Das Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur ABSTRACT The conditioning process involving slow and uniform heating of salt soaked high moisture parboiled rice coupled with turning or agitation before puffing is the most critical factor for obtaining good quality of puffed rice. A mechanized set-up has been developed to produce pre-conditioned rice for puffing with 0.0, 2.5, 3.5 and 5.0% salt (w/w). Pre-conditioning process irrespective of the salt contents continued for about a time period of 90 minutes (except for no salt condition taking about 80 minutes) till the final hardness of the grain was achieved between 44-47N. The final moisture content of the pre-conditioned grain was achieved as 10-10.30 % (wb). Percentage puffing and expansion ratio of machine pre-conditioned rice were observed as 97.8±1.26 %, 6.3±0.28 and 92.2±0.69 %, 6.4±0.22 respectively for microwave puffing and traditional puffing. Therefore, the developed machine is able to produce well conditioned rice for producing quality puffed rice. Keywords: puffed rice, pre-conditioning, mechanization INTRODUCTION (Chinnaswamy and Bhattacharya, 1983b, Puffed rice is a popular low cost breakfast cereal and Chandrasekhar and Chattopadhyay, 1991) for 20-25 s. snack used worldwide because of its ready to eat (RTE), The whole process of puffing is very tedious, time lighter and crispness characteristics.
