Abstract: Extruded rice bran was used as raw materials to produceγ-aminobutyric acid (γ-GABA) by liquid- and solid-state fermentation using Aspergillus oryzae. The effect of extrusion conditions for rice bran on γ-GABA yield was explored. Different γ-GABA contents were found in fermentation broths of extruded rice bran obtained under different processing conditions. The optimal extrusion conditions for rice bran were water content of 20%, screw speed of 200 r/min and extrusion temperature of 150 ℃. Theγ-GABA contents in liquid- and solid-state fermentation products were 118.6 mg/100 g and 121.1 mg/100 g, respectively.
