Exploring possibilities for commercializing reconfigurated rice developed at the University
The product, a particular type of rice, produced by a project of the Facultad Tecnológica in 2008, with the support of the Fundación para la Innovación Agrícola (FIA), is in the process of obtaining its corresponding patent.There was a high national and international impact in May 2008, because of this new type of reconstituted rice obtained from by-products of the polishing process of this cereal, such as spikes, defective pieces, flour and others. The important finding is that it requires less time and only a quarter of water than the traditional rice usually used for cooking.
