Quick cooking rice was produced by cooking raw, white long grain rice with three different methods which were atmospheric cooking in electric cooker, autoclaving and precooking followed by autoclaving. The drying rate curve showed that cooking methods affected little the drying pattern of the cooked rice except that precooking treatment before autoclaving retarded dehydration. The quick cooking rice prepared by precooking and autoclaving method among three cooking methods showed the fastest rehydration rate and took 7.5 minutes in reaching equilibrium moisture content by soaking in boiling water. And it had less hard and more cohesive texture than the milled rice cooked by conventional method and the quick cooking rice prepared by electric cooking when reconstituted. The microstructure of quick cooking rice was investigated among cooking methods.

The effect of emulsion treatment on the separation of quick-cooking rice kernel after drying and the quality of reconstituted quick-cooking rice made of a Japonica variety were investigated. Among the several stages of emulsion treatment tested, immersion of cooked rice before drying was the most effective on the separation index. Immersion condition of 3 min at $30^{\circ}C$ was found to be the most desirable. Emulsion composed of 5% soybean oil and 0.5% sucrose fatty acid ester (HLB : 9.5) was found to be the most effective to yield the separation index of 86%. By applying the above mentioned emulsion, the separation index was improved by 30 compared with untreated one. The quality of the quick-cooking rice manufactured by the emulsion treatment was found to be as good as untreated one.

Because of good taste and quick cooking, the induction heating type pressure rice cooker is widely used. Since pressure is applied to oven structure, it should be necessary to check the safety evaluation. In this paper, strain gauge experiment is performed in order to evaluate the oven's strain and its result is compared with that of structural analysis. And water test is performed to evaluate the oven's permanent deformation. The result is also compared with that of structural analysis. By using these experiments and analyses the safety evaluation method of the oven is suggested.
