Explanation:
Sug.
Pregelatinized or "alpha" rice production in Japan was 13 900 t in 1983 (Tan), 1985) and 14 500 t in 1986 (Iwasaki, 1987). Cooked rice is quickly dried by heated air to fix the starch in an amorphous state at about 8 percent moisture. Gelatinized rice is used as an emergency food and as rations in ships and mountain climbing because of its long shelf-life (three years), (Imai, 1990) and light weight (Juliano and Sakurai, 1985).
