Protein (A) and fiber (B) content and Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level (C) in raw materials of rice cultivars Gladio and Ronaldo. BR = Brown Rice; PBR = Parboiled Brown Rice; R = Refined parboiled flour; M = Micronized parboiled flour; C = Coarse; F = Fine; TEAC = trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity. Different letters indicate significant differences determined by the Mann–Whitney pairwise test (p ≤ 0.05). Lower case letters refer to cv Gladio; upper case letters refer to cv Ronaldo. Results are expressed as ± standard deviation for three replications.
