NEW LOW CALORIE RICE.

Scientist   have     discovered    a   simple  way  to  cook  rice  that   dramatically; cut    the   Calories .
An  undergraduate     student   at   college  of  chemical   science   in  Sri  Lanka   and  his  mentor    have  been     tinkering    with  a  new  way    to  cook  rice    that  can  reduce  its  calories  by     as  much  as  50 percent   and  even  offer  a   few   other  health  benefits.The  ingenious  method    which  at  its  core    is  just  a    simple  manipulation  of   chemistry  ,  involves  only  a  couple    easy   steps    in  practice.
"What   we   did   is  cook  the  rice   as  we  normally  do  ,  but  when  the  water   boiling  ,before  adding  the  raw   rice  ,  we  added  coconut  oil  -  about  3 percent  of  the  weight    of  the  rice  you're  going  to  cook,"  Said    Sudhir   James  ,  who    presented   his    preliminary   research    at   National  Meeting    and  Exposition   of  the  American    Chemical  Society  (ACS)."After  it   was  ready   we   ,  let  it  cool    in  the  refrigerator   for   about    12  hours.That's  it.
HOW  DOES   IT   WORK.
Some  starch  are    digestible  starch,  takes  only  a little  time   to  digest ,are  quickly  turned   into  glucose   and  then  later  glycogen.Excess  glycogen  ends  up    adding  to  the  size  of our  guts   if  we  don't  expend    enough  energy  to  burn  it  off   .Other  starch   ,  meanwhile  called  , resistant    starch  take  a   long  time  for  the  body    to  process   aren't   converted     into   glucose  or   glycogen    because   we  lack    the  ability   to  digest  them ,and  add  up      to  fewer 
 calories.  
A   research,  however , shown  that    it  is  possible  to  change  the  type  of  starches    found  in  foods   by  modifying  how   they  are  prepared .There  are  observable  change    when  certain foods    are  cooked  in  different  ways.
The  process   of  heating  and  cooling    some   vegetables,  like  peas  and  sweet potatoes ,  can  also  alter  the  amount      of  resistant  or  good  starch.Similarly  rice  , depending  upon  the  method  of  the  preparation ,  undergoes   observable   chemical  changes .Most  notably   ,  fried  rice   and  pilaf  style   rice    have  greater  proportion   of  resistant  starch    than  the  most  commonly  eaten  type  ,  steamed  rice   though  it  seem  strange.
"If  you  can     reduce  the  digestible  starch     in  something   like         a  steamed  rice  ,  you  can  reduce  the  calories," said   Dr  Pusphrajaha    Thavarajah ,  a  professor   who    supervise  the  research."This  impact  could  be  huge".
What   they  found   is    that  by  adding  coconut  oil  or  lipid   ahead  of  cooking  the  rice   and  then  , cooling  it  immediately    after  it  was  done   ,they  were  able  to    drastically  change   its  composition  -and  for better.
"The  oil  il   interact  with     the          starch   in  rice   and  changes  its  architecture."said  James ."Chilling    the  rice   then  helps  foster   the  conversion  of    starches.The  result   healthier   serving   even  if   you heat  it  back  up."
With  the  better  kind  of  cooking  ,  the  calories  can   be  reduced   by   50  to  60  percent.
