Abstract: Isolation and identification of γ-aminobutyric acid from the germ of rice brain was reported in this paper and theoptimum extraction conditions of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the rice brain were investigated. The results showed that 50℃stirring extraction for 4h by water were the optimal conditions.

Key words: rice germ, rice brain, γ-aminobutyric acid
