“…Thus, many studies are underway to investigate the LAB fermentation of natural food materials and to develop functional food products with health benefits. LAB-fermented RB is known to produce amino acids as well as biologically active metabolites, such as phenolic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, γ-oryzanol, phytic acid, inositol, β-sitosterol, acetic acid, vitamin E, vitamin B, lipids, and proteins [21,22]. Active ingredients in yeast-fermented red rice (RYR) also include a number of monacolins, most importantly monacolin K, pigments, organic acids, amino acids, sterols, decalin derivates, flavonoids, lignans, coumarin, terpenoids, and polysaccharides [53].…”
