Rice flour by SATAKE’s small milling unit CMU30A

by Tsuyoshi Fujishima, Flour Milling Group, Technical Division, Satake Corporation

Rice flour is a generic term for rice flour made of both non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice. Rice is the only self-sufficient grain in Japan, but the annual consumption of rice-per-capita has been decreasing year by year due to the diversification of consumer needs.
 


On the other hand, in recent years, as the national policy aims at expanding the use of rice flour as a substitute for wheat flour in order to improve the self-sufficiency rate, products using rice flour have been developed in various places by improving flour milling technology and bread-making technology, and the use of rice flour has been expanding to various products such as bread, western confectionery, and noodles.

Fine-grained flours are expected to be used in new applications different from conventional uses such as Japanese confectionery and rice crackers. These can be divided into applications mainly by grain size.
