Black rice and its pigment fraction have shown anti-atherogenic activities in several animal models, but whether their beneficial effects will recur in humans remains unknown. The aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of black rice pigment fraction (BRF) supplementation on selected cardiovascular risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Sixty patients with ...

Rice flour, corn flour and deoiled rice bran blends were used to prepare ready-to-eat extrudates

thrity seven isolates of magnaporthe grisea collected from several host plants from family of poaceae namely digitaria singuinalis, setaria italica, and echinochloa sp.were tested for their pathogenecity against two susceptible rice cultivars. conidial suspensions were prepared by the surfaces of 14-day-old cultures being washed with sterile water and adjusting the final concentrations to appro...

The co-ingestion of protein, fat and fibre with carbohydrate reportedly affects postprandial glucose, insulin and incretin (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)) responses. However, the effects of combination dishes with carbohydrate-rich foods at typically eaten amounts remain unclear. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effe...

Rice is one of the most widely consumed cereals in world. The husks harvested, unprocessed rice are not digested by humans and need to be removed obtain edible grains, whereas bran can partially (brown rice) or totally (white rice). Brown a wholegrain cereal and, as such, known have beneficial effects on human health. Recent epidemiological studies shown that consumption whole grains reduce ris...

Descriptive analysis and consumer acceptance tests were conducted with frozen (FCR), homemade (HCR), and aseptic-packaged (ACR) cooked rice products from two cultivars-IM and SD. FCR was prepared using a rapid freezing process, which may provide consumers with a quality similar to that of HCR. The intensity of the flavors of roasted, glutinous rice, rice cake, and rice starch and the textures o...

Based on image processing technology, the detection, classification and feature extraction for plant grain shape are performed in this paper. Taking rice grain as an example, the shape detection and description method of similar round object are studied firstly. Then a grain shape description method based on 8 feature points of rice grain boundary is proposed. Aiming at rice seed detection, a s...

Abstract The present study investigated the possibility of complete utilization eggshell waste (ESW) transforming it to adherent egg white protein solution, calcium chloride dihydrate, and membranes (ESM). Adherent solution was obtained by washing ESW three times with distilled water at 25°C, followed filtration, analyzed for content lysozyme activity. ESM were simultaneously exposure washed eg...

A simple extraction method was developed for obtaining the white tip nematode, Aphelenchoides besseyi Christie, from single seeds of rice, Oryza sativa. The method was as follows: Individual rice seeds were split longitudinally and then transferred into single pipet tips. Tips containing a split seed were then singly placed upright in glass vials with water to extract the nematodes. This method...

The production of conidia of entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana by solid-state fermentation was studied for the development of a biocontrol agent against aphid Myzus persicae. The optimal conditions for conidia production on polished white rice were 40% moisture content, 25℃ culture temperature, 2-day-old seeding culture grown in 3% corn meal, 2% rice bran, 2% corn steep powder medium, initial...
