A rice gel production system for producing rice gel in a form of a gel including: a cooking unit that cooks or steams raw-material rice to obtain cooked rice; a cooked rice conveyance unit that conveys the cooked rice; and a pulverizing unit that receives the cooked rice from the cooked rice conveyance unit and pulverizes the cooked rice to obtain rice gel. The pulverizing unit includes: a first pulverizing unit that pulverizes the cooked rice to obtain first pulverized rice; and a second pulverizing unit that pulverizes the first pulverized rice discharged from the first pulverizing unit, the pulverization by the second pulverizing unit being performed more finely as compared with the pulverization performed by the first pulverizing unit 100A to obtain the rice gel.

Provided are, a spherical powder aggregate which is formed from a material including a core material, a binder, and a thickener, and which has a particle size of 1.0-6.0 mm, a breaking strength of 5.0-25.0 N, and a strain ratio of 6.0-30.0%; and a production method for the spherical powder aggregate.

A method for concentrating a particular component in powder by performing a mechanical dry processing on powder formed by granulating a solution containing two or more components, producing chips in a fine-powder form by chipping away at particle surfaces of the powder where a larger amount of the particular component is contained than particle interior portions of the powder, classifying the powder into fine powder containing the chips and coarse powder containing particles whose surfaces have been chipped away, and collecting the fine powder containing the particular component.

A directly compressible composition includes more than 30% by weight of allulose. The directly compressible composition can form tablets. A method for the manufacture of allulose granules includes: a step (a) of preparing a granulation liquid comprising allulose; a step (b) of granulating powdery allulose, by applying the granulation liquid obtained in step (a) onto moving powdery allulose; a step (c), simultaneous with step (b), of drying the granules obtained in step (b); a step (c) of maturation of the granules obtained in step (c); and a step (d) of recovering the granules obtained in step (c) or (c).
