Abstract:

With the brown rice produced in Jiangxi as the raw material, the best soaking and cultural conditions of brown rice germination were determined, and the effects of different concentrations of CaCl2 solution on the germination rate and the content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), one of important nutrients in brown rice were investigated. The results indicated that when the brown rice was soaked in 0.2% CaCl2 solution at 28 ℃ for 9 h and then cultured in constant temperature and humidity incubator at 30 ℃ for 21 h, the germination rate was over 80%, and the calcium and GABA content in the germinated brown rice were 0.62 and 0.36 g/kg, respectively.

Key words: germinated brown rice, calcium enrichment, germination rate, GABA content
