How to cook brown rice in the microwave recipe. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 1 minute Cook Time: 30 minutes. Big thanks to the nice lady who answered Mahatma's rice crisis help line! You can use any type of brown rice-if you are using fat short-grained brown rice, add 3 minutes to the cooking time at the end. IMPORTANT-Use a tall, pot-like container (like the one in my video) and if the lid is not vented, do not close the lid completely tight. Leave a space for steam to vent out. Corningware-type with glass lid works well too. Ingredients: 1 cup brown basmati rice3 cups water Directions: Wash rice, rinse, drain.
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase. We previously learned that digestion of carbohydrates, and in particular starches, begins in the mouth with the action of salivary amylase. This enzyme catalyzes, or speeds along, the hydrolysis of the starch molecule.
The metabolism of carbohydrates begins in our mouth. The first step is mastication -- chewing. When we chew, food is mechanically divided into smaller pieces and is mixed with an enzyme in our saliva (salivary amylase) that chemically breaks down carbohydrates into its simpler components.
