Abstract:Rice (Oryza sativa L.) bran accumulates many compounds that are associated with the promotion and maintenance of human health, such as γ-oryzanol (gOZ) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

The present study sought rice cultivars with high concentrations of gOZ, and also of GABA, in polished rice, and examined the distribution of gOZ content in the outer layers of brown rice. The effects of germination treatment were also examined a… Show more
