Abstract

Samples of milled (i) and parboiled (ii) rice were cooked in 3 and 4 times their volume of water, respectively. Cooking time for (i) was 14 min and for (ii) 28 min. In the model system amino acids were added to the water at levels of 0.2% L-lysine monohydrochloride and 0.1% L-threonine, respectively (based on wt. of rice). There was a negligible loss of lysine and threonine on cooking rice in plain water or in the model system. In the case of (ii) cooked in water, the losses of lysine and threonine were 6.2 and 3.4% respectively; however this might be attributed to the longer cooking time.
