In the normal course of the milling process, some of the rice grains are broken. Broken grains are not wasted but are used as an ingredient in beer brewing. Rice is ranked high as a brewing adjunct from the standpoint of yield, overall performance in the brew house, and its influence on beer stability, flavor, color and quality. Rice Starch Rice starch is the major component of milled rice. It is present only in the endosperm of the grain, making up 90-93 percent of the milled rice dry weight.
Rice starch is used as a thickener in making sauces and desserts.
It can be hydrolyzed to make a sweet syrup. Starch from waxy rice, also called sweet rice, is also used in frozen foods because it withstands syneresis during freezing and thawing. This resistance to liquid separation is attributed to its high amylopectin starch content. Rice Bran Oil Rice oil is obtained from extracting oil from the bran of rice. This bran is a by-product of milled white rice.
