Germinated brown rice diet, high health and Weight Control.

Germinated brown rice diet high in disease prevention, weight control, when the team discovered that the Thai researcher. "Germinated brown rice", which is gamma. Butyl amino acid "(g-Aminobutyric acid) or" G-BA ", a kind of amino acids. Help in the treatment of several neurologic diseases. Public and private sectors can work together to accelerate the push for a product, "GABA-Rice".



And processed products. To add value to Thai food. And increase its competitiveness with other countries.


Patcharee a family researcher from the Institute of Food Research and Product Development. University (mg) a research grant from the National Research Council (NRCT) to study the use of the "Cup Rice worked" and "rice seed" to a healthy diet. value The factors of production. Varieties of rice. And conditions of the harvest. Production of germinated brown rice with a "G-BA" of rice varieties. And the development of health food products.

The results showed that The Cup worked rice with a "G-BA" in rice 105 the rice was "G-BA" in the species R. 258 rice seed from hybrid rice 105 to the "G AB. A "higher than the consumption of rice and brown rice to get the most. The rice must be soaked in water before germination. The germinated brown rice have a lot of nutrients, especially the "G-BA" added the "G-BA" is a kind of amino acids. The production process. Decarboxylation. Of glutamic acid. These acids play an important role in the. Neurotransmitter. In the central nervous system. This acid is used in the treatment of several neurologic disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy and also has the ability to lower blood pressure by

The researchers said that the rice was soaked in water to germinate. In addition to benefiting from the "G-BA" higher up. Brown also has a soft texture for easy eating. For brown rice can be soaked in water to grow them. Must be disabled through the bark, not longer than two weeks from this study. Germinated brown rice can be produced through the research process to add a "G-BA" ready to be cooked up to be eaten immediately. And can also be developed to grow rice, flour and food products. Many species, such as health drinks, soups, appetizers, snacks, etc..

The researchers are working to expand this research to the level of the rice seed production. The National Innovation Agency. Cooperation with the National Research Council. Institute of Food Research and Product Development. And the rice export business. To develop a prototype production line for manufacturing "GABA-Rice" with the aim to add value to Thai food. The rice industry in Thailand. And increase its competitiveness with other countries. The plant and machinery is at the Institute of Food Research and Product Development mg ​​and plans to grow rice and continue to trade in the coming months.
