Objective: A study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of banana meal and rice bran from Australia or South-East Asia and test the hypothesis that there are no differences in rice bran produced in different countries, but there are differences between full-fat and defatted rice bran. Methods: Two sources of banana meal and 22 sources of rice bran (full-fat or defatted) from Australia or South-East Asia were used. All samples were analyzed for dry matter, gross energy, nitrogen, amino acids (AA), acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), ash, minerals, total starch, insoluble dietary fiber, and soluble dietary fiber. Banana meal was also analyzed for sugars including glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, stachyose, and raffinose. Results: Chemical analysis demonstrated that banana meal from the Philippines is primarily composed of starch. Full-fat rice bran from Australia had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of AEE, lysine, and glycine than samples from the Philippines and Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran from Australia and Thailand had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of gross energy and most AA than rice bran from Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran from Australia had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of tryptophan and manganese than all other sources, but full-fat rice bran from the Philippines contained less (p<0.05) zinc than all other sources of rice bran. Gross energy, AEE, and copper were greater (p<0.05) in full-fat rice bran compared with defatted rice bran, but defatted rice bran contained more (p<0.05) crude protein, ash, insoluble dietary fiber, total dietary fiber, AA, and some minerals than full-fat rice bran. Conclusion: Banana meal is a high-energy source that can be used as an alternative ingredient in livestock diets. Full-fat rice bran from Australia and Thailand contained more concentrations of AEE and AA than samples from the Philippines or Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran had more gross energy and AEE than defatted rice bran, whereas defatted rice bran contained more crude protein, ash, and total dietary fiber.

Fermented feed using rice, barley, wheat, and defatted rice brans as the raw materials were prepared by 3 species of wild yeasts which were selected among 35 strains of yeasts isolated, and their analytical values were examined. The results were as follows : 1. The three yeasts were identified as H.amomala var. anomala (No.225), Candida utilis (No.400), and Irpex-cellulase(consors) (no.403-A). 2. The optimum pH, and sugar concentration of these yeasts in liquid culture were pH 5.0 and Bllg. 10.deg. each. The optimum temperature was 30.deg.C for No.225 and No.403-A, 25.deg.C for No.400. The No.225 and No.403-A grow at higher temperature than 37.deg.C and 40.deg.C each. 3. The No.225 yeast had a large vegetative cell and strong sugar fermentability. The No.225 and 403-A could assimilate cellobiose, xylose, $KNO_2$ and $KNO_3$. These properties were fit for bran fermentation. 4. The No.403-A microorganism was a yeast-like microbe and showed cellulase activity which might help the propagation of other yeasts on the brans. 5. The analytical data of fermented feed indicated the following order of usable value ; rice-wheat-barley bran 4:4:2, rice-wheat bran 5:5, rice-barley bran 5:5, rice-defatted rice bran 5:5. 6. the fermented feed were prepared by mixing brans, 0.3% ammonium sulfate and 5%(w/w) inoculum of yeast suspension in 4% glucose solution. Water content 70-80%, fermentation temperature 25-30.deg.C, and fermentation time 2-3 days were given. 7. The rice-wheat bran 5:5 and rice-barley bran 5:5 fermented feed showed 11, 17-11.45% protein increase, and the rice-barley-wheat bran 4:4:2 and rice-defatted bran 5:5 showed 3.75-6.03% protein increase. 8. The fermented feed prepared in this experiment by the author might work as a nutritive feed using microbial cell body, enzymes produced by microbes and other microbial cell constituents.

Comparative effects of oxidant, reductant treatment and its phosphorylation on qualities and functional properties of defatted rice bran protein isolates were investigated. Effects of oxidant and reductant treatment were that essential amino acid content of protein isolates was high and its color, pepsin digestibility were good. The phosphorylated defatted rice bran protein isolated was taken by incubating sodium trimeta phosphate in aqueous solution at pH 10.5 and $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and its protein score was 55. Functional properties such as solubility, whipping activity and foam stability were much improved. But color, pepsin digestibility, bulk density and fat absorption were not affected by phosphorylation.

In this study, the mechanical and sensory quality characteristics of bar rice cake, Gareadduk, have been measured from the reference group and the sample groups with 10%, 20% 30% and 40% of defatted rice, containing high dietary fiber. From the general properties of rice powder and defatted rice, the crude protein, crude fat and crude ash of defatted rice were higher than those of rice powder, and especially dietary fiber content of defatted rice was 24.6%, 7-8 times higher than that of rice powder. The moisture content of Gareadduk has declined with increased mixing rate of defatted rice. According to the chromatography test result, its brightness, L-value has declined with increased mixing rate of defatted rice while there was no significant difference for different storage periods. Its redness, a-value, has declined with increased mixing rate of defatted rice and longer storage periods. Its yellowness, b-value, has inclined with increased mixing rate of defatted rice and longer storage periods, which showed no significant difference. Its hardness has significantly increased with increased mixing rate of defatted rice. Also, its hardness has gradually increased with longer storage periods. From the elasticity and viscosity test result, there was no specific tendency, but the chewiness of the sample groups was higher than that of the reference group. The sensory test result showed that the colour and scent of bar rice cake, Gareadduk, were getting stronger with increased mixing rate of defatted rice. The taste of the sample groups was stronger than that of the reference group, and the overall acceptability of the sample groups showed the order of 20%> 30%> 40%> 10%.

The optimum condition for the extraction and purification processes of phytic acid from defatted rice bran was examined. The phytic acid was efficiently extracted when the defatted rice bran was treated with 10 volumes of 0.5% HCl for 1 hr. For the neutralization of acid-treated extract, 0.5% NaOH was the most acceptable. To purify phytic acid, Diaion HP20 resin was used to remove impurities from the extract. The flow-through was then loaded onto ion exchange columns packed with various resins and among them, Amberlite IRA-416 resin showed highest recovery yield. When the phytic acid was absorbed onto Amberlite IRA-416 resin and then eluted with 0.5% NaOH, 89% of applied phytic acid was eluted. Most proteins were removed from the purified phytic acid and total protein content of the phytic acid was 0.14%(w/w).

For efficient extraction of protein from defatted rice bran, the 5 ranges of extraction pH (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) and the 3 ranges of isoelectric precipitation pH (2, 4 and 6) were used. The protein content, browning reaction, the electrophoresis pattern and the recovery yield of soluble protein at each pH range were compared each other. The recovery yield of soluble protein increased in proportion to extraction pH, but at the same time, browning reaction became more conspicuous. The most amount of protein was recovered at the precipitation pH of 4. The SDS-PAGE patterns of the extracted proteins showed no significant correlations between pH and the protein content, but the highly alkaline condition was more advantageous to extract protein less than 35 kDa. In each pH range, the recovery yield of soluble protein averagely reached 32.5% on the basis of extraction. In result, it was found that combination of extraction pH 10 and precipitation pH 4, which resulted in 37.65% of recovery yield and low level of browning reaction, was the optimum condition for the extraction of protein from defatted rice bran.

Calcium and iron binding peptides were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration of rice bran protein (RBP), which was isolated from defatted rice bran by phytase and xylanase treatment and ultrasonication. The isolated RBP had a molecular weight in the range of 10-66 kDa. The extracted proteins were hydrolyzed using Flavourzyme for 6 hr. After ultrafiltration under 5 kDa as molecular weight, the peptides were fractionated into 4 peaks by Sephadex G-15 gel permeation chromatography, and each fraction was determined for calcium and iron binding activity. As the result, Fl and F2 fractions were the best candidate for calcium and iron chelation, respectively. These results suggest that the calcium and iron binding peptides can be used as functional food additives in food industry.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of rancid rice bran in finishing pigs. In exp. 1, fresh (FRB), rancid (RRB), pelleted and extruded rice bran were used to determine stability and nutrient digestibility. The free fatty acid (FFA) values of FRB and RRB were 8.2 and 15.3%, respectively. Some of the FRB was pelleted ($70^{\circ}C$) or extruded ($110^{\circ}C$). In exp. 2, a total of 48 pigs ($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Duroc$, $51.12{\times}0.5kg$) were employed for a 56-d feeding trial with 3 treatments: Control (defatted rice bran+animal fat), 20% FRB (8.2% FFA), and 20% RRB (15.6% FFA). There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in FFA% between raw and pelleted, and extruded rice bran on d 10 after storage. On d 30 the extruded rice bran showed lower (p<0.05) FFA% than the pelleted one. Dry matter digestibility was higher (p<0.05) in processed rice brans (pelleted or extruded) than raw rice bran (FRB or RRB). Energy and protein digestibilities in extruded rice bran were higher (p<0.05) than those in raw rice brans. The digestibilities of isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were lower (p<0.05) in RRB than FRB. Pigs fed diets containing FRB grew faster (p<0.05) and showed better feed conversion ratio (p<0.05) than those fed diets containing defatted rice bran or RRB. Carcass characteristics including dressing percentage and backfat thickness were not affected (p>0.05) by dietary treatments. With increasing storage time, the raw pork from RRB showed higher (p<0.05) thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and peroxide value (POV) than those from FRB when stored at $1^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks. Cooked pork showed rapid increase in TBARS and POV as compared to raw pork regardless of rice bran rancidity. As the storage time passed, Lightness (L) was lower (p<0.05) in RRB than FRB. Redness (a) was higher (p<0.05) in control than rice bran groups when stored 2-3 weeks. However, there was no difference (p>0.05) in redness (a) between the two rice bran groups. In conclusion, feeding rancid rice bran gave negative effects on growth performance and pork quality in finishing pigs.

A total of 225 day-old broiler chicks (43.08 g initial body weight) were allotted to three dietary treatments for a 6-week feeding trial. The treatments were 1) Control (defatted rice bran; DFRB), 2) fresh rice bran (FRB) and 3) rancid rice bran (RRB). Rice brans were intentionally spoiled by two degrees of rancidity by the values of free fatty acids (FFA): 7.6% (FRB) and 16.3% (RRB). Diets were prepared on an isonutrient basis, and defatted or rancid rice brans were included 5 and 10% for starter (0-3 week) and finisher (3-6 week), respectively. At the end of the feeding trial, six chicks per treatment were sacrificed, and thigh meats were ground and stored at $1^{\circ}C$ for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and peroxide value (POV) analyses. For a digestibility, 48 growing chicks (4 weeks old) were employed in cages (3 replicates/treatment, 2 birds/cage) according to the experimental design: FRB, RRB, pelleted and extruded rice bran. Some of the FRB were pelleted ($70^{\circ}C$) or extruded ($110^{\circ}C$). There was no significant difference in growth performance during the starter period, but chicks fed a diet containing DFRB grew faster (p<0.05) with increased feed intake (p<0.05) than those fed diets containing rice brans, FRB or RRB, during the finisher period. Feed conversion ratio in the RRB was inferior (p<0.05) to the DFRB. Between rice bran groups, weight gain was higher (pco.os) in FRB than in RRB during finisher period. There was a similar trend in growth performance of chicks for the overall period (0-6 week) as the finisher period. Dry matter and energy digestibilities were higher (p<0.05) in extruded than in RRB group. Protein digestibility was improved (p<0.05) when rice bran was extruded, but not pelleted. The chicken meats from RRB showed higher (p<0.05) TBARS than those from FRB during storage for 4 weeks at $1^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, it would appear that feeding rancid rice bran gave negative effects on growth performance and lipid stability of meat in broiler chicks.

The defatted rice bran (DRB) was enzymatically hydrolyzed using eight commercial proteases for 4hr at optimum pH and temperature. Proteolytic hydrolysates were examined in supernatant and precipitate using lowry, semimicro kjeldahl and gravimetric method using weight difference before and after enzymatic hydrolysis. In lowry and kjeldahl protein assay method, two proteases (Alcalase and Protease N) were found to be the most effective enzymes. In gravimetric method, 60.6~118.3 mg protein/g DRB was hydrolyzed after eight commercial proteases treatments. Similar to lowry and kjeldahl method, 118.3 and 107.1 mg protein/g DRB were hydrolyzed after Alcalase and Protease N treatments, respectively. When two or three effective proteases (Protamex, Alcalase and Protease N) were applied at one time to obtain synergistic effect, significant increase (P<0.05) was observed when three proteases were applied at one time (63.4 mg protein/g DRB in lowry method and 204.5 mg protein/g DRB in gravimetric method). This result suggests that Alcalase and Protease N were the most effective enzymes for proteolysis of DRB and three commercial enzymes (Protamex, Alcalase and Protease N) showed the synergistic effect on the hydrolysis of DRB.
