Healthy Agents Found in Brown Rice

September 24, 2008: 12:55 PM EST
The healthy compounds in pre-germinated brown rice are made up of sterol-like molecules known as acylated steryl-beta-glucosides (ASGs), says a joint US-Japanese study in the journal of Lipid Research. Soaking the rice in warm water induces germination, which stimulates rice enzymes to produce more nutrients. The researchers used silica gel column chromatography, mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to identify the compounds.
