PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing low electrolyte dried pregelatinized rice extremely low in cost and excellent in productivity by producing through an easy production method, dried pregelatinized rice which is greatly reduced in potassium, phosphorus and protein so as to allow a kidney disease patient and a diabetic patient to eat at ease, has taste allowing an able-bodied person to sufficiently feel deliciousness, and allows both a person on diet such as a kidney disease patient and a diabetic patient, and an able-bodied person to eat.SOLUTION: This method for producing the low electrolyte dried pregelatinized rice includes polishing raw material rice to a rice polishing ratio of not more than 90% so as to bring to low electrolyte polished rice from which part of potassium, phosphorus and protein contained in the raw material rice is scraped, boiling the low electrolyte polished rice to pregelatinize, washing the pregelatinized low electrolyte pregelatinized rice in water, and drying the washed low electrolyte pregelatinized rice to obtain the low electrolyte dried pregelatinized rice.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】腎臓病患者や糖尿病患者が安心して食することができるようにカリウム,リン,タンパク質を大幅に低減し、食味も健常者が食べても十分美味しいと感じ、腎臓病患者や糖尿病患者などの食事制限者と健常者の両者が食することができる乾燥α化米を、簡易な製造方法で製造し極めて低コストで生産性に優れた低電解質乾燥α米の製造方法を提供することを目的としている。【解決手段】原料米を精米歩合90%以下に精米してこの原料米に含有しているカリウム及びリン及びタンパク質の一部を削り落とした低電解質精米にし、この低電解質精米を煮てα化せしめ、このα化した低電解質α化米を水で洗浄し、この洗浄した低電解質α化米を乾燥して低電解質乾燥α化米を得る低電解質乾燥α化米の製造方法。【選択図】図1
