Abstract This article provides an overview of various studies reporting the correlation and mechanism increased GABA, phenolic components, antioxidant reactions in sprouted rice. Sprouted rice is viewed as a functional food because it contains nutrients such antioxidants, other metabolites that are excellent for health. The germination process significantly increases availability GABA by 15.4-f...

Experimental studies carried out for evaluating the anti-hyperlipidemic properties of rice bran components have given interesting but often contrasting results. Therefore, the current study was initiated to investigate the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of oryzanol (OZ), a commercially-important bioactive phytochemical, isolated from crude rice bran oil (cRBO). OZ was isolated by a two-step solve...

Rice bran is a by-product of brown rice milling process. The aim this study was to determine the effect fermentation on changes total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and bioactive components in with combination defatting treatment. Coloured (white, red, black) used study. Total content (TPC) activity were analysed Folin-Ciocalteau DPPH radical scavenging (RSA) method, respectively. Bioa...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and other bone degenerative diseases are among the most challenging non-communicable diseases to treat. Previous works relate bone loss due to osteoporosis with oxidative stress generated by free radicals and inflammatory cytokines. Alternative therapy to hormone replacement has been an area of interest to researchers for almost three decades due to hormone therapy-assoc...

During the screening of selective DNA polymerase (pol) inhibitors, we isolated cycloartenyl trans-ferulate (CAF), which is a major component of γ-oryzanol, which is a byproduct formed during the production of Japanese rice wine "sake". CAF selectively inhibited the activity of mammalian A, B, and X pol families, but Y family pols were not affected. CAF did not influence the activities of plant ...

Rice bran chemical profiles differ across rice varieties and have not yet been analysed for differential chemopreventive bioactivity. A diverse panel of seven rice bran varieties was analysed for growth inhibition of human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Inhibition varied from 0% to 99%, depending on the variety of bran used. Across varieties, total lipid content ranged 5-16%, individual fatty a...
