The ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction of rice bran oil

“…Among vegetable oils, rice bran oil has been considered to be one of the most valuable and healthy oil because it contains many nutrition including protein, vitamin B complex, vitamin E (atocopherol and tocotrienol), vitamin K and c-oryzanol. c-Oryzanol is important component peculiar to rice bran oil since it has been suggested to show biological and physiological abilities such as serum cholesterol lowering, antioxidation, anti-carcinogenic and to attenuate allergic inflammation (Yasui et al, 2004;Nagasaka et al, 2011;Nagasaki et al, 2008).…”

Improved Cultivation and Fortification of The Giant Embryo Brown Rice Cultivar “Koshiguruma”

“…GABA is a non-protein amino acid that is widely distributed in nature and is known to exist in the brains of vertebrates as a suppressive neurotransmitter (Awapara et al, 1950;Roberts, 1950). It is effective for alleviating increases in blood pressure (Omori et al, 1987;Shirai et al, 2011;Yasui et al, 2004), mental symptoms in menopausal and presenile autonomic nervous disorders (Okuda et al, 2000), stress (Mori et al, 2007), growth hormone secretion (Cavagnini et al, 1980), kidney function disorder (Hyun et al, 2004;Lin et al, 2000), neutral fat increase (Ohtomo, 2010), and more.…”
