Abstract
Abstract Enriched artificial rice is prepared by kneading together rice powder, nutrients (i.e. amino acids, vitamins, and/or minerals), water, and if desired, a binder (such as carboxymethylcellulose); steaming the mixture to semigelatinize the starch contained therein; granulating the resulting viscous product; and, if desired, coating the grains obtained.
