Abstract

The concentration of nutrients in brown rice is mainly associated with embryo size. Various beneficial components have been purified from rice bran. Recently developed black waxy rice with a giant embryo ('Milyang 263', BGE), which is the get mutant of the GE gene, was selected and analyzed to produce high quality nutritional components. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) content in BGE rice bran, one of the most important nutritional compounds in rice, showed a 10. 6-fold increase (2. 66±0. 48 mg/g) compared to that of BGE brown rice (0. 25±0. 01 mg/g). In addition, brown rice and BGE rice bran showed enriched amylopectin (94. 5±0. 5 and 97. 0±0. 0%) and bioactive anthocyanin [Cy-3-G: 75. 15±4. 18 (brown rice), 82. 97±0. 81 (rice bran) and Pn-3-G: 1. 52±0. 50 (brown rice), 4. 33±0. 20 (rice bran); mg/100 g] contents. These results suggest that BGE rice bran can be used as an excellent raw material to efficiently produce high quality essential amino acids, cyanidin-3 glycoside-enriched anthocyanins, and GABA.
