CarbReduce™ STUDY

How it works

• CarbReduce is a two-step function that allows carbs and sugars to separate from the rice during the cooking process.
• The rice is both boiled and steamed, with the steaming being done later in the cooking process.
• This process works by placing the rice in the CarbReduce basket and adding extra water for cooking.
• As the rice absorbs the water, the boiling process turns to a steam process, separating and draining sugars and starches into the pot below.
• When the cooking process is complete, fluffy, delicious rice is left in the basket and starch and sugars are isolated in the bottom of the cooker.

The results

• Reduction of carbohydrates and sugar by up to 40%.

How we tested it

Objective
To test for the reduction of digestible starch in rice varietals when using the CarbReduce™ function.

Samples
The following commonly available, national brands of rice were tested. Long Grain White/Riceland | Long Grain White/Verde Valle |
Long Grain Brown/Iberia | Short Grain White/Rice Select |
Basmati White/Mahatma | Arborio White/Rice Select
A total of 4 multi-grain cookers were used in the testing.

• Quantity = 2, 12 Cup machines
• Quantity =2, 20 Cup machines

Laboratory
Testing was conducted by:
Eurofins S-F Analytical Laboratories
2345 S. 170th St.
New Berlin, WI 53151

Procedure
Samples of rice were cooked by the traditional method using the White Rice and Brown Rice functions and compared to samples of rice cooked in the CarbReduce basket using the CarbReduce function.All tests use tap water unless otherwise specified.

Cooked rice samples are analyzed for their resistant starch by “Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International (2005), 18th Ed., AOAC International, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, Official Method 2002.02” and digestible starch by “Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International (2005), 18th ED, AOAC International, Gaithersburg, MD, USA, Official Method 996.11 (mod.)”
Results in percent reduction of digestible starches are provided.

Conclusion
Using the CarbReduce cooking method can reduce the carbs in cooked rice by up to 40%.
