PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for eliminating abscisic acid and phytin in brown rice as the cause of bad odor, and to solve the problem that germinated brown rice naturally dried after immersion regenerates abscisic acid/phytin due to dry stress so as to return to an approximately the same state as brown rice.SOLUTION: A brown rice germination vessel (Figure 2) contains brown rice placed in immersion water which includes phototrophic bacteria. Germination of the brown rice eliminates abscisic acid/phytin, and the bad odor of germination is also eliminated. The brown rice/adzuki beans are germinated and activated. The germinated brown rice is frozen for storage, and thawed for rice cooking. The germinated brown rice is vacuum-packed in a polyethylene bag for storage at room temperature and for distribution. The dried germinated brown rice and germinated brown rice powder contain B12 derived from phototrophic bacteria.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】玄米中のアブシジン酸、フィチンは悪臭の原因である。発芽玄米は玄米を浸漬し発芽後、自然乾燥すると、乾燥ストレスによりアブシジン酸・フィチンを再産生し、玄米とほぼ同じ状態に戻る。【解決手段】玄米発芽器(図2)に玄米、光合成菌細菌を含む浸漬水中を張り込み、玄米が発芽することによりアブシジン酸・フィチンを消去し発芽悪臭も消臭、玄米・小豆は発芽し活性化。発芽玄米を冷凍保存し解凍して炊飯。ポリエチレン製の袋に入れ真空パックにして常温で保存し、流通販売。乾燥発芽玄米及び発芽玄米粉は光合成菌由来のビタミンB12を含有。【選択図】図2
