Abstract: Effects of microwave heating of rice bran with original moisture content and fully watering rice bran on contents of free fatty acids(FFA), protein solubility and emulsifying activity were studied. Results show that the effect of moisture content on rice bran stabilization is great. Microwave heating of rice bran with original moisture content can partially restrain the activity of lipase and has very little effect on protein solubility and emulsifying activity. It can be used for short period storage of rice bran. The FFA content of fully watering rice bran almost remained unchanged and its functional properties weredestroyed a lot after the rice bran was heated by microwave and then storaged at 35℃ for 4 weeks.
