  • Rice flour based low oil uptake frying batters
    Patent number: 6224921
    Abstract: Low oil uptake frying batters substantially based on rice flour have been developed that maintain desirable organoleptic properties while significantly reducing fat absorption during the frying process. This is accomplished by inclusion of cold water swelling rice-based starch products selected from the group consisting of pregelatinized rice flour, phosphorylated rice starch and pregelatinized acetylated rice starch into the rice starch batter compositions.
