Abstract: The present invention relates to an instant rice nectar which can be preserved for long time. The instant rice nectar of the invention is prepared by the process which comprises the steps of: adding water to malt while stirring, filtrating to obtain malt extract, adding amylase to the malt extract and saccharifying, heating and chilling, filtering, and adding sugar to the filtrate so that the total sugar content reaches a Brix level of 32 to 68; steeping nonglutinous rice in water and boiling to form nectaring rice, adding 1 to 3 times by weight of water and amylase to the nectaring rice, and saccharifying; diluting said malt extract with water and adding the saccharified nectaring rice to the diluted malt extract, and filling up a container with rice nectar thus produced and sealing; and, putting said container filled with the rice nectar in a retort chamber and sterilizing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an instant rice nectar which can be preserved for long time. The instant rice nectar of the invention is prepared by the process which comprises the steps of: adding water to malt while stirring, filtrating to obtain malt extract, adding starch hydrolase to the malt extract and saccharifying, heating and chilling, filtering, and adding sugar to the filtrate so that the total sugar content reaches Brix 32 to 68; steeping nonglutinous rice in water and boiling, adding 1 to 3 times of water by weight and starch hydrolase to the resulting nectaring rice, and saccharifying; diluting the malt extract with water saccharified nectaring rice to the resulting mixture, and filling up a container with rice nectar thus produced and sealing; and, putting the container filled with the rice nectar in a retort chamber and sterilizing.
