Expression levels of the NAC gene family were studied in rice infected with Rice dwarf virus (RDV), Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV), Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV), and Rice transitory yellowing virus (RTYV). Microarray analysis showed that 75 (68%) OsNAC genes were differentially regulated during infection with RDV, RBSDV, RGSV, and RRSV compared with th...

Rice Bran Protein Fractions (RBPFs) albumin, globulin, glutelin and prolamin were extracted from untreated and parboiled rice bran and their comparative studies were made for the yield, protein content, bulk densities, water absorption capacities, Nitrogen Solubility Index (NSI), emulsion property and least gelation concentration. The maximum yield of the protein fractions were obtained in parb...

The influence of oil rate and quality of rice bran oil by enzymatic extraction ultrasonic assisted were studied through designed experiment. The optimum enzymatic hydrolysis conditions were determined by the way of the orthogonal test. The results showed: after lipase enzyme in the rice bran (40 mesh sieve) was killed by the hot steam, the solution compounding material liquid ratio was 1:5 (W/V...

Rice bran is a simple item that delivers fantastic health benefits in our daily diet. This study delivers the importance of utilising all parts of the whole grain, including the bran. The objective was to develop the recipes incorporated with rice bran and evaluate their organoleptic properties and estimate their glycemic index. Ten standard Indian subcontinent recipes namely, chapati, mixed ve...

To establish the effectiveness of a new phytosterol-containing spread derived from rice bran oil (RBO), a randomised, double-blind, cross-over human clinical trial was conducted over 12 weeks. A total of eighty mildly hypercholesterolaemic (total blood cholesterol level ≥ 5 and ≤ 7·5 mmol/l with a serum TAG level of ≤ 4·5 mmol/l) individuals were randomised into two groups (n 40). Group 1 consu...

The present work deals with comparison of microwave assisted extraction to that of conventional solvent extraction for the extraction of rice bran oil (RBO); focusing on extraction yield and oil composition. Microwave assisted extraction act as a green process over other method and proved that it is effective method for extraction of oil. The investigation also focuses on the study of functiona...

Rice is the major foodgrain of the world and it is the principle cereal consumed in India and other parts of Asia1. Milling of paddy to obtain edible rice grain yields two major byproducts of economic and nutritional importance, namely, paddy husk and rice bran. Paddy husk has no food value but has several industrial uses. Rice bran, on the other hand, can serve as an animal feed, as a human fo...

BACKGROUND The cholesterol-lowering abilities of rice bran's fiber and oil apart from its fatty acid composition remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the effects of defatted rice bran and rice bran oil in an average American diet on blood lipids in moderately hypercholesterolemic persons. DESIGN Study 1 used a parallel-arm design. Twenty-six healthy volunteers ...

Swarms of self-propelled particles exhibit complex behavior that can arise from simple models, with large changes in swarm behavior resulting from small changes in model parameters. We investigate the steady-state swarms formed by self-propelled Morse particles in three dimensions using molecular dynamics simulations optimized for graphics processing units. We find a variety of swarms of differ...

The associative learning account of how infants identify human motion rests on the assumption that this knowledge is derived from statistical regularities seen in the world. Yet, no catalog exists of what visual input infants receive of human motion, and of causal and self-propelled motion in particular. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that the frequency with which causal agency and self-pro...
