Table 2.
Concentration of acylated steryl glycoside (ASG), gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), oryzanol, and phenolics in germinated brown rice (GBR) in comparison to white rice (WR) and brown rice (BR).
| Bioactive compound* | Rice type | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| GBR | BR | WR | |
| ASG (mg/g) | 0.465 ± 0.055 | Undetected | Undetected |
| GABA (mg/g) | 0.36 ± 0.04 | 0.09 ± 0.02 | Undetected |
| Phenolics (GAE/g dw) | 20.5 ± 0.01 | 3.17 ± 1.68 | 0.60 ± 0.45 |
| Oryzanol (mg/100 g) | 30.38–64.22 | 13.01–22.37 | Undetected |
GAE: gallic acid equivalent; dw: dry weight. *Concentration of all bioactive compounds in GBR was found to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) than WR or BR.
