Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing non-glutinous rice crackers by milling non-glutinous rice, adding water to the resultant rice powder, kneading and smothering the mixture, treating the smothered paste with water, rolling the resultant paste into a strip-like form, feeding the strip-like paste into a dehydrator at a temperature of 60* to 90*C to reduce the water content in the paste down to 14 to 30 percent, adjusting, if necessary, the dehydrated paste to a hardness suited to high speed cutting, cutting the dehydrated paste in a continuous high-speed cutting process, and drying and baking the resultant material.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of manufacturing non-glutinous rice crackers comprising the steps of: milling non-glutinous rice; mixing the resultant rice powder with water and kneading the mixture while adding steam until a soft paste is formed; immersing the resultant smothered paste in water at a sufficient temperature and time for cooling the paste to remove its harshness; rolling the resultant paste into strip-like form, feeding the resultant strip-like paste to a dehydrator held at a temperature of 60* to 90* C. for a period of time sufficient to reduce the water content of the paste down to 14 to 20 percent; increasing the temperature of the dehydrated paste to 70* to 100* C, cutting the heated paste in a continuous high-speed cutting process, and thereafter drying to reduce water content in the paste pieces down to 12 percent and baking the resultant paste pieces.
