Changes in antioxidant activities of rough rice extract before and after germination

Antioxidant activity	Before germination	After germination
DPPH radical scavenging activity (mg Trolox eq/g)	3.75 ± 0.06	6.54 ± 0.07^***
ABTS radical scavenging activity (mg ascorbic acid eq/g)	18.58 ± 0.21	28.73 ± 0.35^***
Reducing power (A₇₀₀ at 5 mg/mL)	0.447 ± 0.014	0.745 ± 0.021^***
Iron chelating effect (% at 10 mg/mL)	56.27 ± 0.94	85.46 ± 1.24^***

The results are expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicate samples.
