Antimutagenic and antioxidative activities in the different milling fraction of rice(Oryza sativa L., illpumbyeo) were investigated. Twelve milling fractions including embryo, bran(I, II, III, IV and all) and milled rice(I, II, III, IV and V) and were obtained by abrasive milling. Antimutagenic effects of milling fraction against Trp-P-2-induced mutagenicity were shown as ${\approx}0%$ for embryo fraction, $27{\sim}86%$ for bran fractions and $64{\sim}95%$ for milled rice fractions in salmonela typhimurium reversion assay. Milled rice V, inner fraction with 80.9% milling yields, showed the highest antimutagenic activity among milling fractions Antioxidative activity, measured by peroxide value(POV) of different milling fractions was higher in embryo(28%) and bran fractions ($25{\sim}34%)$ than milled rice fractions($6{\sim}22%)$. In terms of thiobarbituric acid(TBA). embryo. bran and milled rice fractions exhibited 14, $5{\sim}21\;and \;6{\sim}20%$ antioxidative activity, respectively. Antioxidative activity, measured by electron donating ability(EDA), was 45% for embryo fraction. $35{\sim}40%$ for bran fractions and $41{\sim}65%$ for milled rice fractions. Antimutagenic activity if milling fractions was correlated with POV (r=-0.471, p<0.01) and EDA (r = 0.609, p<0.001) but not correlated with TBA. Contents of total phenolic acid and SH were higher in bran and embryo fractions than in milled rice fractions, and were reversely correlated with antimutagenic activity (r=-0.523 and -0.451. respectively, p<0.05).

Fatty acid composition and phenolic acid content of rice with different milling fractions were analyzed to provide basic data for nutrition, processing and storage of rice. Major fatty acids of rice were palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids and their respective contents were 20.0%, 33.3% and 43.0% of embryo, 17.3%, 45.1% and 34.5% of rice bran and 23.4%, 26.2% and 46.1% of milled rice. Outer fraction had a high content of oleic acid but a low content of linoleic acid in rice bran. As milling yields increased in milled rice, oleic acid content increased, but palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid and linolenic acid contents decreased. Contents of free, esterified and insoluble bound phenolic acid extracts from bran were 321.0mg%, 299.7mg% and 212.4mg%, respectively. Milled rice contained 118.0mg% of free phenolic acids, 56.0mg% of insoluble bound phenolic acids and no esterified phenolic acids. Rice bran contained 86.2% of ferulic acid as a principal phenolic acid. It also contained 35.7~36.6% of sinapic and syringic acids, 16.7% of p-coumaric acid and 0.13% of vanillic acid as minor component. Contents of total phenolic acid, expressed in terms of tannic acid, among rice with different milling fractions was highest in embryo. It was higher in outer fraction in bran, but rarely detected as fractionation of the component with milling in milled rice.

Rice endosperm, the portion that remains after milling, is the part of the rice seed that is primarily consumed as a source of nutrients. There have been many studies on polysaccharides, such as hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectins, derived from the cell walls of various plant groups. It has been reported that the acidic polysaccharide fractions, which contain water-soluble pectins that have been shown to have pharmacological effects in vivo and in vitro, have common chemical structures that include galacturonic acid polymers, rhamnose, arabinose, and galactose. However, few studies have been conducted on the acidic polysaccharides contained in the endosperm of rice. In this study, we quantitatively compared the differences in the acidic polysaccharide contents from samples from two of the main varieties of rice consumed as staple foods, japonica and indica, using a colorimetric method. Rice samples were collected from 39 different regions in Korea, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Acidic polysaccharide fractions were obtained by precipitation of the alcohol-insoluble residue (AIR) and enzyme treatment of each sample. The total amount of carbohydrates and uronic acid in each acidic polysaccharide fraction were measured using the phenol-sulfuric acid method and the carbazole-sulfuric acid method, respectively. The differences in the total polysaccharide contents in the acidic polysaccharide fractions were not statistically significant (p = 0.07), but the uronic acid contents were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.04).

Effects of rice cultivars and degree of milling (DM) on composition, pasting properties, total phenolic contents, and distribution of phenolic acids were investigated. Rice and bran fractions with 94.4, 92.0, and 90.4% milling yields from brown rice of four cultivars (Odae, Nampyung, Chucheong, and Ilmi) were used. Fat and ash contents of milled rices decreased with increasing DM, whereas protein contents were not affected. In rice bran, differences in fat and ash contents by cultivars were higher than those caused by DM. With increasing DM, gelatinization temperature of rice flour decreased, whereas peak viscosity and hold viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ increased. While cold viscosity, final viscosity, and setback varied among cultivars, DM had little effect. Total polyphenolic contents in brown rice, milled rice, and rice bran were 93.9-88.8, 30.3-71.9, and 310.0-541.6 mg catechin eq/100g, respectively. Major phenolic compounds were identified as ferulic and p-coumaric acids. Total phenolic content of brown rice (65.9-27.9 mg%) decreased with increasing DM, whereas ratio of ferulic acid composition increased. Chucheong and Ilmi varieties showed biggest reduction of phenolic acid contents by milling. In rice bran, ferulic and p-coumaric acids were 157.8-240.2 and 31.8-90.4 mg%, respectively. Contents of sinapinic, benzoic, and m-hydroxybenzoic acids in rice bran were higher than those of brown and milled rices.

Milling qualities and indigestible carbohydrate fractions (ICF) depending on harvesting time of Goami2 (G2), mutant of Ilpum (IP) rice, was examined. Fifty days after heading (DAH) maximized head rice milling quality (57.69%) and ICF content ($5.09{\pm}0.36\;g/100\;g$). ICF contents and physical properties of G2 and IP at 50 DAH were compared. ICF of G2 was three times higher than that of IP ($1.61{\pm}0.09\;g/100\;g$). Parboiling treatment increased ICF of G2 to $7.18{\pm}0.16\;g/100\;g$. G2 showed lower water absorption index, which could lower pasting properties, but higher water solubility index, implying it contains more soluble components. Texture properties of G2 were different from those of IP, showing higher hardness, and lower adhesiveness and cohesiveness. Positive correlation was observed between ICF and hardness, but reverse correlation between ICF and cohesiveness.
