Compositional changes of rice germ oils prepared at different roasting temperatures (160-180°C) and times (5-15 min) from rice germ were evaluated and compared with those of unroasted rice germ oil. The color development and phosphorus content of oils increased significantly as roasting temperature and time increased, whereas the FA compositions of rice germ oils did not change with roasting temperature and time. Four phospholipid classes, i.e., PE, PI, PA and PC, were identified. PE had the lowest stability under roasting conditions. There were no significant differences in γ-oryzanol levels of rice germ oils prepared at different roasting temperatures and times. Four tocopherol isomers (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol) and three tocotrienol isomers (α-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienol) were identified, but no β-tocotrienol was detectable. The content of α-and γ-tocopherol in rice germ oil gradually increased as roasting temperature and time increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
