Parboiled rice, or a similar starch-containing product, is produced by moistening the rice in a preheating installation 1 and, thereafter, applying steam to heat the rice to boiling temperature. The rice is kept at the boiling temperature in a heat-retaining vessel 9 for cooking rice. Thereupon, the rice is dried in a drying installation 12 and cooled, if necessary.

Method for hydrothermal treatment of starch products, particularly rice

For the production of parboiled rice or a similar starch-containing product, the rice, after conveniently being moisted in a preheating installation 1, is brought to boiling temperature and, having reached this, is kept at this boiling temperature in a heat-retaining vessel 9 until the cooking process is finished. Thereupon, the rice is dried in a drying installation 12 and cooled, if necessary.
