The invention aims to provide a method for improving
nutritional quality of germinated
brown rice through ultrasonic-assisted salt induction.
Brown rice is a whole-grain product and is rich in nutritional ingredients such as
starch,
protein, dietary fibers, vitamins and mineral substances and active functional factors. The nutritional ingredients of the germinated
brown rice change drastically, and the nutritional value of the
brown rice is greatly improved. According to the method, brown rice is taken as a
raw material, the brown rice is soaked in a CaCl2
salt solution under the assistance of
ultrasound, the
germination temperature and time are optimized, the concentration of the CaCl2
salt solution is taken as an
influence factor, and the change rule of nutritional ingredients and functional factors of the brown rice in the
germination process is researched. Results show that after ultrasonic-assisted salt
induction treatment, the contents of
vitamin B2 and
vitamin B6 in the germinated brown rice are increased to 58.2 mu g / 100g and 0.438 mg / 100g, and the content of gamma-
aminobutyric acid is increased to 42.6 mg / 100g (
dry basis). The
germination of the brown rice promotes the activation and release of hydrolases such as
amylase,
protease and
phytase, and nutritional ingredients in the brown rice are migrated, degraded, accumulated and the like, so that the
nutritional quality of the brown rice is remarkably improved.
