Abstract Perchlorate concentrations in 387 unhusked rice samples from 15 main producing provinces in China were investigated by HPLC–MS/MS. The results indicated that perchlorate displays a mean level of 17.17 μg/kg in unhusked rice samples. Intriguingly, we also found that perchlorate is mainly observed in rice husk among of these collected unhusked rice samples, while less observed in rice bran and milled rice. Specifically, the perchlorate levels in rice were found in the husks (73.61%), bran (10.09%) and milled rice (19.52%), respectively. Our results indicated that there is no significantly perchlorate exposure risk in edible milled rice. We suggested that perchlorate in rice can be greatly removed if deep processed unhusked rice and there is no perchlorate exposure risk in edible milled rice.

β-glucan is a dietary fiber that is beneficial to human health, and its content varies according to its different parts, type of cereal grain, and growing environment. In this study, the β-glucan of milled rice, rice husk, and rice bran fractions, as well as the amylose content of milled rice fraction, from 38 selected rice-paddy grains from six regions of Thailand were quantitatively determined. The milled rice of the Sakon Nakhon (SN) cultivar grown in the northeast contained the highest β-glucan content (0.88 ± 0.03%), followed by the milled rice of the Jow Khao Chiangmai (JKC) cultivar (0.71 ± 0.03%) and rice bran of the Sew Mae Jan (SMJ) cultivar (0.67 ± 0.03%) grown in the north. The results reveal that the rice cultivars from each region showing variation in the β-glucan level in each fraction, which is mainly found in milled rice and rice bran, are similar to those found in other cereal grains, although low amounts are found in the husk. The amylose and β-glucan contents in the milled rice fraction showed a strong negative correlation (r = −0.805; p < 0.0001). This new information about the β-glucan content of Thai rice cultivars could be used for the development of cereal-based functional food.

Abstract Phosphine residues were determined in 2 types of rice samples, raw polished and parboiled. The yellow chromophore due to phosphine from raw polished rice had 2 absorption maxima, a strong one at 370- 380 nm and a weaker one at 400-410 nm. The chromophore from parboiled rice also had 2, one at 390-400 nm and the other at 410-420 nm. A closed system containing rice and a phosphine tablet or powder yielded 93-99% recovery of fortified phosphine. At any given dose of phosphine, parboiled rice retained a higher amount of residue after aeration than did raw polished rice.

Abstract An easy and sensitive spectrophotometric assay of pyridoxine is described. The procedure is based on formation of an azo dye by the reaction of pyridoxine with diazotized 2,4-dinitroaniline followed by the reaction of the dye with Hg2+ ions to form a stable complex with maximum absorbance at 545 nm. The system obeys Beer’s law for 4–75 μg pyridoxine hydrochloride in an overall aqueous volume of 25 mL (correlation coefficient, 0.9998). On extraction into 5 mL butan-1-ol, the system obeys Beer’s law in the range 0.8–15 μg pyridoxine hydrochloride at 545 nm. The color is stable for 60 min in both aqueous and organic phases (molar absorptivity, 3.7 × 104 L/mol · cm; coefficient of variation, 3.1%, n = 10). The pyridoxine contents of pharmaceutical preparations, a processed foodstuff, and 2 rice samples were determined by using the proposed method. Assay reliability was established by recovery studies and parallel determination using a reported method.
