METHOD FOR PRODUCING SPROUTED BROWN RICE HAVING INCREASED amp;gamma;-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID CONTENT AND FOOD CONTAINING THE SPROUTED BROWN RICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for quickly producing sprouted brown rice having high GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) concentration without causing the proliferation of sundry germs and preventing the loss of GABA and other nutrient components in water.;SOLUTION: As a result of vigorous investigation by the inventors to solve the above problems, it has been found that the enrichment of GABA is effectively achieved in a short time to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms by washing brown rice, immersing in warm water of 35-45°C for 30 min to 2 hr, draining the rice, and leaving at least at 35-45°C for 1-8 hr while recovering the exuded drip and returning to the brown rice.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
