Hemoglobins (Hbs) corresponding to non-symbiotic (nsHb) and truncated (tHb) Hbs have been identified in rice ( ). This review discusses the major Oryza findings from the current studies on rice Hbs. At the molecular level, a family of the genes, consisting of , , , and , and a single copy of nshb hb1 hb2 hb3 hb4 hb5 the gene exist in var. indica and . var. japonica, Hb thb Oryza sativa O sativa...

Background: Globally, hot cooked refined rice is consumed in large quantities and is a major contributor to dietary glycaemic load. This study aimed to compare the glycaemic potency of hot and cold stored parboiled rice to widely available medium grain white rice. Method: Twentyeight healthy volunteers participated in a three treatment experiment where postprandial blood glucose was measured ov...

Physicochemical properties of rice flour and rice starch differing in amylose content were evaluated in Setra Ramos and Mentik Susu rice varieties. The objectives of this research was to determine the physical properties i.e. thermal, X-ray diffraction patterns and chemical properties i.e. moisture content, lipid content, protein content, total starch content, amylose content, FT-IR analysis, a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of rice bran oil consumption on plasma lipids and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thirty-five patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to a placebo group or a rice bran oil group. The placebo group consumed 250 mL soybean oil-modified milk (18 g soybean oil) daily for 5 weeks, and the rice bran oil group con...

the purpose of this study is calculate the rate of total factor productivity (tfp) growth  of rice varieties for different provinces of  iran and then breakdown it to the changes in a technology, management efficiency and scale efficiency. for this purpose we use the nonparametric method of comprehensive data analysis and malmquist productivity index. the used data include the rice varieties pr...

Hemoglobins (Hbs) corresponding to non-symbiotic (nsHb) and truncated (tHb) Hbs have been identified in rice ( Oryza). This review discusses the major findings from the current studies on rice Hbs. At the molecular level, a family of the nshb genes, consisting of hb1, hb2, hb3, hb4 and hb5, and a single copy of the thb gene exist in Oryza sativa var. indica and O. sativa var. japonica, Hb trans...

Incorporation of plant residues in soil affects N and C content and dynamics. This studydetermined the effects of short-term alternative rice (Oryza sativa L.) residue management on Nmineralization and uptake by rice. Pot and laboratory incubation experiments were established byincorporating 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost in paddy soil. The 15N recovered by riceaveraged 16.6%; mo...

BACKGROUND Nanoemulsions have practical application in a multitude of commercial areas, such as the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Cosmetic industries use rice bran oil in sunscreen formulations, anti ageing products and in treatments for skin diseases. The aim of this study was to create rice bran oil nanoemulsions using low energy emulsification methods and to evaluate thei...
