Chemical evalution of pre-germinated brown ice and whole grain rice bread

Abstract:
Pre-germination process was carried out at 40 Co for 3 and 24h. protein, minerals ,total dietary fiber (TDF), phytic acid , y-oryzanol , and total phenols content were estimated in white rice , brown ice , pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) and whole grain rice bread (RB). Results indicated that PGBR holds much more nutrition over milled rice or ordinary brown rice . phytic acid decreased with prolonged pre-germination and thermal process , the highest reduction percent was in rice bread (20%) . zn , ca , ma and fe levels increased significantly inpre –germinated brown rice (PGBR) as result of phytic acid degradation . y-oryzanol content did not change after pre-germination (40.62 mg/kg rice grain). Total phenols content declined by 25.30% as prolonged pe –germination (40Co / 24h).
