Today, rice is one of the most important food crops in developing countries and it is considered staple food in many parts of the world. Rice is also becoming much more important in the United States, Europe, Asia and Middle East. However, concerns have been raised because it is high in starch and low in other essential nutrients. Another issue of concern is the breakage of rice kernels in the milling process, and these broken kernels are not generally accepted by consumers. Extrusion technology, which can be used to produce fortified rice, or rice analogues, can present a solution to both these problems, since desired nutrients / micronutrients can be incorporated in appropriate quantities in the rice mainly incorporating these nutrients in rice flour as the base material.
