PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing germinated brown rice excellent in taste.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for producing germinated brown rice comprising: (a hydrolysis step) where dry grains whose water content is adjusted to 10 to 15 mass% in advance are subjected to hydrolysis at a hydrolysis speed of 0.5 to 2.0 mass%/h till the water content reaches 16 to 20 mass% (a tempering-germination step) where, further, tempering is performed under gas passing conditions to germinate brown rice (a warming step) where, thereafter, a warming set is performed in such a manner that the central product temperature of the brown rice reaches 40 to 60°C (a digestion step) where digestion is performed with steam of 98 to 100°C and (a drying step) where drying is further performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】食味の優れた発芽玄米の製造方法を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】あらかじめ水分10~15質量%に調整した乾燥穀粒を、0.5~2.0質量%/hの加水速度で水分を16~20質量%になるまで加水し(加水工程)、さらに通気条件下で調質(テンパリング)を行い(調質・発芽工程)、玄米を発芽させた後、玄米の中心品温が40~60℃になるように加温設定し(加温工程)、98~100℃の蒸気で蒸煮し(蒸煮工程)、さらに乾燥させる工程(乾燥工程)を含む発芽玄米の製造方法。【選択図】図1
