This study was perform to examine the feasibility of cooking processing using the rice added the 70% ethanol extract of pigmented rice bran layer. Four rice samples, including normal rice, glutinous rice, pigmented-normal rice, and pigmented-glutinous rice were compared the properties of physico-chemical, texture, and sensory evaluation. Pigmented rice varieties had a higher amylose content, but shorter length in glucose chains than non-pigmented rice varieties. The enthalpy for gelatinization was found to increase in pigmented rice, which need more energy for gelatinization of starch in cooking. The hydrolysis rate by glucoamylase in rice added pigmented bran extract was higher than pigmented rice. Rice with pigmented bran extract had higher glutamine content, but lower asparagine content and no difference in fatty acid composition, which affect palatability. Cooked rice added pigmented bran extract was less retrograded than pigmented rice during the storage period. Moreover, cooked rice added pigmented bran extract was more acceptable in sensory evaluation. Based on the results, the use of rice added pigmented bran extract instead of pigmented rice in grain processed food have advantageous effects in palatability of polished rice and phytochemicals of pigmented non-polished rice. This study will help develop new health-promoting rice products.

This study was performed to examine the processibility aptitude for the addition of Dobyeong to pigmented rice bran extract. Dobyeong from pigmented rice was less bulky and coarser than Dobyeong-added pigmented bran extract. The viscosity and degree of retrogradation in Dobyeong-added Pigmented bran extract were lower than Dobyeong from pigmented rice, indicating that the inhibitory action of retrogradation was higher in Dobyeong-added pigmented bran extract. The scores for springiness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness were increased in Dobyeong-added pigmented bran extract. Dobyeong-added pigmented bran extract showed a decreased natural flavor of pigmented rice and degree of retrogradation, but had higher scores in color values. Dobyeong-added pigmented bran extract was more acceptable in sensory evaluation. Based on these results, the use of rice-added pigmented bran extract instead of pigmented rice in rice-processed food has advantageous effects in terms of the palatability of polished rice and phytochemicals of pigmented non-polished rice. This study will help develop new health-promoting rice products.

The effects of the extracts from the bran part of pigmented rices on inflammation was evaluated by determining their inhibitory action on the histamine and ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ release, together with inflammatory cytokine productions ($IL-1{\beta},\;TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6). Examination of the inhibitory effects on the histamine and ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ release from a basophilic cell line RBL-2H3 cells and rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) showed that the pigmented rice extract inhibited these inflammation-mediating substances (10.19% and 110.03% inhibition in histamine and ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ release, respectively), while normal brown rice extract rather increased their release. For RPMC, the pigmented rice extract was found to have 8 or 3-fold stronger inhibitory activity than normal brown rice toward histamine or ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ release, respectively. Expression of $IL-1{\beta},\;TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 was measured as the representative inflammatory cytokine species showed that the pigmented rice extract had a higher inhibitory activity than the normal rice counterpart. ELISA analysis for determining cytokine release demonstrated a more effective blockading ability of the pigmented rice to the release of $IL-{\beta},\;TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 compared to normal rice. These results showed us the superiority of the pigmented rice bran extract not only in suppressing the release of inflammation-mediating substances such as histamine and ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$, but also in repression of the inflammatory cytokine expression.

Pigmented rice bran has been suggested to be a valuable source of beneficial phytochemicals. We investigated genotoxic and anti-genotoxic effects of purple rice bran extract (PRBE) in rats using a liver micronucleus assay. Purple rice bran was extracted with methanol, obtaining large amounts of phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins and small amounts of gamma-oryzanol. The experimental protocols were divided into two sets. Male rats were divided into three groups. Group 1 was a negative control, while Groups 2 and 3 were fed with 100 and 500 mg/kg bw of PRBE, respectively, for 28 days. PRBE had no effect on micronucleus formation or xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in rat liver. Experiments concerning the effect of PRBE on $AFB_1$ showed that PRBE significantly lessened the amount of micronucleated hepatocytes in $AFB_1$ treated rats. Furthermore, it modulated metabolic activation of $AFB_1$ metabolism in the liver by suppressing activity and protein expression of CYP1A2, CYP3A and CYP 450 reductase, and enhancing phase II enzymes including GST and UGT. Overall, purple rice bran extract was not genotoxic in rats. It exhibited anti-genotoxicity by modulation some xenobiotic enzymes active in $AFB_1$ metabolism.

Effects of the extracts from bran part of the pigmented rices on inflammation was evaluated by determining their inhibitory action on the production of nitric oxides, histamines and matrix metalloproteinase(MMP) from inflammatory leukocytes. Effects on the production of nitric oxides in a macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 cells, were determined, demonstrating that any significant difference was not detected between the normal rice and the pigmented rice extracts. Inhibitory effects on the histamine-release from a basophilic cell line, RBL-2H3, were examined, showing 3.6 to 5.4-fold increase in the inhibitory activity compared to that of the normal rices. Among the pigmented rice cultivars tested, especially, inhibitory activity of LK1-3-6-12-1-1 was the greatest. Using RAW264.7 cells, we examined the effect of the pigmented rice extracts on the MMP activity. The results showed that the enzyme activity increased with the increasing concentration of the normal rice extract. However, the pigmented rice extracts, except LK1A-2-12-1-l, acted to decrease the MMP activity with their increasing concentrations. The results described above showed the superiority of the pigmented rice extracts in inhibition on release of histamine and MMP, pivotal factors for causing inflammatory responses, from the leukocytes.
