METHODS FOR IMPROVING RICE NUTRITION VIA MANIPULATION OF STARCH CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE AND NUTRIENT PENETRATION TREATMENT

摘要

The methods of the invention provide improved rice grain nutrition by manipulation of the rice starch crystalline structure leading to easier penetration of nutrients into the rice grain and enhancement of rice grains with nutrients, thereby creating enhanced rice grain products. In addition, methods of direct delivery of nutrients into rice grains are also presented.
