[0004] The invention aims to achieve the following: a clean rice milk formula, comprising: milk and rice.
[0005] Furthermore, it also includes white sugar and edible salt.
[0006] Furthermore, the milk is raw milk.
[0007] Furthermore, by weight, use 800-850 parts raw milk, 50-60 parts rice, 10-20 parts white sugar, and 0.1-0.3 parts edible salt, and bring the volume to 1000 parts with purified water.

[0018] Figure 2 The image shown is of the actual object in Comparative Example 2. Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments: Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following implementation examples are all conventional methods; the materials and reagents used are all commercially available unless otherwise specified.
[0020] Example 1, see attached document Figure 1-2 A clean rice milk formula, the formula includes: milk and rice.
[0021] A clean rice milk formula also includes white sugar and edible salt.
[0022] A clean rice milk formula, wherein the milk is raw milk.
[0023] A clean rice-milk formula, by weight, consists of 800-850 parts raw milk, 50-60 parts rice, 10-20 parts white sugar, and 0.1-0.3 parts edible salt, diluted to 1000 parts with purified water.
[0024] A formula of clean rice milk, the rice including indica rice, japonica rice and glutinous rice.
[0025] A clean rice milk formula, the rice including jasmine rice and white rice.
[0026] Example 2, see attached document Figure 1-2 A method for preparing a clean rice milk formula involves mixing rice into rice milk and then mixing it with raw milk.
[0027] A method for preparing a clean rice milk formula, the method for preparing rice milk includes the following steps: washing rice: pouring the weighed rice into a rice washing tank and adding water for washing; soaking rice: adding baking soda to soak the rice, changing the water to rinse off the baking soda, leaving only the rice grains; grinding rice: grinding the rice into rice milk.
[0028] A method for preparing a clean rice milk formula involves grinding rice into a paste using a colloid mill and continuously pumping it into a mixing tank.
[0029] A method for preparing a clean rice milk formula involves soaking the rice: adding baking soda at a concentration of 0.1%-0.15% with a water-to-rice ratio of 4-5:1 for 4-5 hours; the final water absorption rate is 130%-160%, the rice grains can be easily broken by hand, and the core is white. In existing technologies, rice soaking often relies on natural soaking or simply adding water, making it difficult to control the starch gelatinization and aroma release of the rice. This method uses baking soda to gently alkalize the rice during soaking, breaking the hydrogen bonds between rice starch molecules, loosening the starch crystal structure, allowing the natural aroma substances encased within the rice grains to be fully released, and softening the rice's hardness. This ensures a smooth, particle-free rice milk after milling, while avoiding chemical residues, balancing taste and safety. Furthermore, the parameters are clearly quantifiable, allowing for industrial replication, and preserving the natural aroma and nutrients of the rice.
[0030] A method for preparing clean rice milk formula solves the industry pain points of rice milk becoming thick, losing its rice aroma, and separating particles during low-temperature storage at 0-6โ, and improves the problem of rice milk products experiencing taste degradation and severe powderiness during shelf life.

[0032] A method for preparing a clean rice milk formula, comprising the following steps: (1) Preparation: Raw milk is heated to 45-55โ in the preparation tank, and white sugar and edible salt are added online. The mixture is circulated and sheared for 5 minutes. 45-55โ is used as the starting point for heating to reduce the loss of rice aroma. Combined with segmented temperature control during cooking, the rice gelatinization temperature curve is improved so that the rice is fully gelatinized and the shelf life is avoided. Through segmented temperature adjustment and raw material ratio optimization, and strict control of protein index, the dual stability of nutrition and flavor is achieved. (2) Cooking the slurry: The mixing tank is turned on and stirred continuously. The rice slurry is pumped into the chemical tank, and the temperature is raised to 89-93โ after shearing at 90% frequency. After cooking for 30 minutes, the slurry is pumped into the mixing tank.

The temperature of the cold storage is 0โ-6โ. Wait until the temperature of the product center drops to 2โ-6โ.
[0034] Example 3: A clean rice milk formula, with the following ingredients: 800 kg of raw milk, 50 kg of fragrant rice, 15 kg of white sugar, 0.25 kg of edible salt, and the remainder is diluted with purified water to a final volume of 1000 kg. The preparation method is as follows: (1) Washing rice: Pour the weighed rice into the rice washing tank and add water to wash it. Washing effect: Wash the rice until there is no obvious dirty water color; (2) Soaking rice: Add baking soda at a concentration of 0.12% to soak the rice. The ratio of water to rice is 5:1.

(7) Temporary storage of ingredients: After volume adjustment, the ingredients shall be temporarily stored at 15โ for โค2h; (8) Homogenization: Homogenization temperature 65โ, homogenization pressure 23MPa, first-stage pressure + second-stage pressure; (9) Sterilization: The critical limit for sterilization temperature is 123ยฑ2โ, the operating limit for sterilization temperature is 123ยฑ1โ, the sterilization time is 18s, and the flow rate is 5700L / h.
[0035] (10) Cooling: Outlet temperature โค6โ, storage time โค12h, storage temperature โค6โ, stirring frequency 50%, stirring for 2min every 30min.
[0036] (11) Filling: The temperature of the filled product is โค10โ.

[0038] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 is that white rice is used instead of fragrant rice.
[0039] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 is that a colloid mill was not used for grinding the slurry.
[0040] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 3 is that no table salt was added.
[0041] Taste and stability comparisons are shown in Table 1, with actual product photos for reference. Figure 1 and 2 .
[0042] Table 1 Comparison of taste and stability project taste Shelf life status Example 3 Harmonious aroma of rice and frankincense No water separation, no precipitation, no stratification Comparative Example 1 The rice lacks aroma No water separation, no precipitation, no stratification Comparative Example 2 It has a noticeable powdery feel A small amount of water separation in the upper layer Comparative Example 3 The overall flavor was bland. No water separation, no precipitation, no stratification
[0043] In this embodiment, the aroma of rice and frankincense are well-balanced, with no water separation, no precipitation, no stratification, and better results compared to the comparative example.
[0044] Existing rice milk solutions often address the compatibility issue between rice milk and rice paste by adding stabilizers. This solution achieves product stability through synergistic raw material formulation and process control, as demonstrated by: 1) Soaking rice with baking soda makes the starch more hydrophilic than whey protein, thus improving its compatibility.
[0045] 2) Mix rice milk and milk at the same temperature to avoid instantaneous denaturation and flocculation of proteins due to temperature differences.
[0046] 3) Boil the soy milk at 89-93โ for 30 minutes: The starch is moderately gelatinized, forming a weak gel network structure, which physically encapsulates the milk fat globules, playing a natural stabilizing role and replacing artificial stabilizers.
