Abstract
ABSTRACTA method of calcium fortification of milled rice was developed and tests conducted to investigate calcium distribution and retention. Milled rice (Karen variety) was soaked in 3.0% calcium lactate solution (CLS)(rice: CLS, 1.0:0.75 w/v) for 3 hr at room temperature followed by steaming 10 min at 0.68 atm, and drying to 10–11% moisture. Washing fortified rice resulted in calcium losses of ∼5%. Calcium fortified rice flour samples after dialysis, retained ∼60% of original calcium. Fortification process met U.S. standards for calcium‐fortified rice (110–220 mg/100g rice) and resulted in minimal washing losses.
