Title: Effects of Germination in Brown Rice by Addition Chitosan/Glutamic acid
Abstract: To improve the levels of -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in germinated brown rice, chitosan and glutamic acid were treated during the brown rice germination. The GABA contents in germinated brown rices were 425.7 nmole/g and 637.0 nmole/g at germination temperature of and germination time of 72 hrs. Response surface methodology(RSM) was used to monitor characteristics of germination from brown rices. As glutamic acid and chitosan concentration were increased, the GABA content was also increased. The ranges of optimum conditions were in chitosan concentration and in glutamic acid concentration. Predicted values at the optimized conditions were acceptable in comparison with experimental values.
