The present invention relates to a method for preparing dried alpha-rice
by vacuum drying comprising: (a) washing out impurities from the surface
of hulled-rice by using a washing device; (b) immersing the washed rice
in water for 3 to 120 minutes to contain water uniformly, and then drying
it naturally for 3 to 30 minutes; (c) putting the soaked rice into an
auto conveyor rice cooker, wherein the temperature of water is maintained
at 80 to 98% C, and then scalding it for 8 to 20 minutes to be boiled
rice; (d) cooling the boiled rice rapidly by shower at first, and then
washing out it in a cooling tank secondly; and (e) putting the boiled
rice into a vacuum drying room, which temperature is maintained at 60 to
98% C, and reducing the internal pressure to below 1 Torr, and then
vacuum drying the boiled rice until its water content becomes less 5%.
