26 A study was conducted to investigate the accumulation and distribution of arsenic in 27 different fractions of rice grain (Oryza sativa L.) collected from arsenic affected area of 28 Bangladesh. The agricultural soil of study area has become highly contaminated with 29 arsenic due to the excessive use of arsenic-rich underground water (0.070±0.006 mg l, 30 n=6) for irrigation. Arsenic conten...

Aflatoxin contamination and its relationship to storage length in stored maize and rice in Liaoning Province, northeastern China, was investigated. Aflatoxins in 110 samples collected from an area of 14.68million km covering storage length from 1 yr to over 10 yr were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The results showed that almost all samples col...

The aleurone layer, grain coat and embryo which constitute rice bran are rich in vitamins, lipids, protein and lysine compared with the endosperm (milled rice). A method was developed to measure the in vitro protein digestibility of raw and cooked brown rice and their histological components. The protein digestibility of cooked endosperm by the in vitro method agreed with that of other workers ...
