The aqueous anthocyanin-rich extract derived from black rice (Oryza sativa L.) was encapsulated by freeze drying using milk proteins and peptides as coating materials. The molecular modelling approach indicated that all major casein fractions and whey proteins were able to bind at least one anthocyanin molecule. The hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding across the interfaces appeared to be mainly responsible for the stabilizations of the complexes formed between the coating material and bioactive compounds. Two dark purple colored powders, differentiated by the ratio of the encapsulation materials used, rich in phytochemicals were obtained, with an encapsulation efficiency of up to 99%. The powders were tested for antioxidant activity, cytocompatibility, and thermal stability. The morphological structure of the powders highlighted the presence of encapsulated anthocyanins. Both powders showed a remarkable antioxidant activity of about 46 mM Trolox/g D.W., and cytocompatibility on the L929 fibroblast culture. At certain concentrations, both powders stimulated cell proliferation. The powders showed a good thermal stability between 75 and 100 °C for 15 min. The powders were tested in a food model system and checked for stability of phytochemicals during storage. The added value of the powders was demonstrated throughout the antioxidant activity, which remained unchanged during storage.

Abstract Background: Endophytic bacterial community of plant helps in plant growth and health. However, compositional and functional responses of bacterial endophyte communities in black rice and its correlation with antioxidant property are still not understood. Black scented rice, Chakhao ( Oryza sativa L.) is important for its unique fragrance, high antioxidant and anthocyanin content. Here, the compositional and functional role of the endophytic bacterial community, associated with black scented rice - Chakhao ( Oryza sativa L.) at young and mature stage of plant growth, in correlation with antioxidant property has been elucidated.Result: Bray–Curtis community dissimilarity analysis confirmed overlapping of community in shoot and root tissues at the young stage, but not in mature plants. Proteobacteria was found to be the most dominant phyla, and along with Cyanobacteria and Planctomycetes, it dominated the core endospheric microbiome. The genera Agrobacterium, Pleomorphomonas, Bradyrhizobium, Novasphingobium, Caulobacter, Devosia were the most abundant. The antioxidant activity of mature stage plants was found to be higher in comparison to young plants. The total polyphenol content (TPC) was found to be highest in root of Sempak variety (89.06 µg GAE/g). The relative abundance of Pleomorphomonas was positively correlated with TPC, while Gemmata , Unclassified Pirellulaceae , Unclassified Stramenopiles positively correlated with total flavonoid content (TFC). Accordingly, functional metagenome analysis of the endophytic microbiome revealed that few unique genes (naringenin-3-dioxygenase and anthocyanidin-3-O-glucosyltransferases) for flavonoid and anthocyanin synthesis were abundant in mature stage of plant development. Specific enrichment of the antioxidant producing genes in the mature plant endophytic microbiome was assigned to bacteria such as Streptomyces, Pantoea and Bradyrhizobium , which might have contributed to the common pathway of flavonoid synthesis. Conclusion: This study allows us to recognize the linkage between the endophytic bacterial community dynamics and antioxidant activity of scented black rice plant and its comparative account at young and mature stages of growth.

Abstract: Rice is the main type of food that is very essential to the people of Asia, especially in Indonesia. Color pigments, which are located on the outer layer of black rice paddy, have been reported to contain a mixture of anthocyanin compounds. Anthocyanin compounds act as antioxidants and free radical catchers, which serve to prevent some degenerative diseases. Black rice contains a nutritional value that is superior to other types of rice. It includes high content of protein, vitamins and minerals although there are distinct varieties depending on the location of production. This research has intended to determine the description of the activity and stability of the antioxidant from black rice extract (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars in Enrekang, South Sulawesi at 100 degrees Celsius heating with the periods of 0, 10, 20 and 30 minutes, and the antioxidant activity has been tested using DPPH and FRAP methods. Based on the results of the research using DPPH method, it was discovered that the activity of radical scavengers increased by the effect of the temperature from extracts of the black rice cultivar in Enrekang heated for 0, 10, 20, and 30 minutes at a temperature of 100 ° C and the antioxidant activity of the extracts of the black rice was relatively stable against heating that was tested using FRAP.Keywords: black rice, antioxidants, DPPH, FRAPAbstrak: Beras merupakan jenis pangan utama yang penting bagi masyarakat di Asia, terutama di Indonesia.

Abstract. Suryanti V, Riyatun, Suharyana, Sutarno, Saputra OA. 2020. Antioxidant activity and compound constituents of gamma-irradiated black rice (Oryza sativa L.) var. Cempo Ireng Indigenous of Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 4205-4212. Nowadays, black rice is gaining consumer interest because of its health benefit. Due to the high content of antioxidant compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids, the nutritional profile of black rice is much better than any other rice varieties. Anthocyanins, pigment with powerful antioxidant properties, give a vibrant color to the rice. The antioxidant activity and chemical constituents of the non-irradiated and gamma-irradiated black rice Oryza sativa L. var Cempo Ireng were investigated. The total phenolic content was determined based on the reaction of the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent with samples. Total anthocyanin was determined by the pH differential method. Antioxidant activity was fulfilled using DPPH method. The results revealed that non-irradiated and gamma-irradiated black rice were categorized as potent antioxidants. It is noted that irradiation increased antioxidant activity and changed the chemical components of black rice. Both of non-irradiated and irradiated black rice contains simple phenolics and flavonoids, including anthocyanins. Non-irradiated and irradiated black rice possess similar types of secondary metabolites, with different chemical content. The non-irradiated black rice contains anthocyanins of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, whereas the irradiated black rice possesses anthocyanin of peonidin-3-O-glucoside. Additionally, irradiated black rice contains terpenoids, which increased its antioxidant activity compared to the control.

Anthocyanins belong to the group of flavonoid compounds broadly distributed in plant species responsible for attractive colors. In black rice (Oryza sativa L.), they are present in the stems, leaves, stigmas, and caryopsis. However, there is still no scientific evidence supporting the existence of compartmentalization and trafficking of anthocyanin inside the cells. In the current study, we took advantage of autofluorescence with anthocyanin’s unique excitation/emission properties to elucidate the subcellular localization of anthocyanin and report on the in planta characterization of anthocyanin prevacuolar vesicles (APV) and anthocyanic vacuolar inclusion (AVI) structure. Protoplasts were isolated from the stigma of black and brown rice and imaging using a confocal microscope. Our result showed the fluorescence displaying magenta color in purple stigma and no fluorescence in white stigma when excitation was provided by a helium–neon 552 nm and emission long pass 610–670 nm laser. The fluorescence was distributed throughout the cell, mainly in the central vacuole. Fluorescent images revealed two pools of anthocyanin inside the cells. The diffuse pools were largely found inside the vacuole lumen, while the body structures could be observed mostly inside the cytoplasm (APV) and slightly inside the vacuole (AVI) with different shapes, sizes, and color intensity. Based on their sizes, AVI could be grouped into small (Ф < 0.5 um), middle (Ф between 0.5 and 1 um), and large size (Ф > 1 um). Together, these results provided evidence about the sequestration and trafficking of anthocyanin from the cytoplasm to the central vacuole and the existence of different transport mechanisms of anthocyanin. Our results suggest that stigma cells are an excellent system for in vivo studying of anthocyanin in rice and provide a good foundation for understanding anthocyanin metabolism in plants, sequestration, and trafficking in black rice.

Two multi-functional powders, in terms of anthocyanins from black rice (Oryza sativa L.) and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus paracasei, L. casei 431®) were obtained through co-microencapsulation into a biopolymer matrix composed of milk proteins and inulin. Two extracts were obtained using black rice flour as a raw material and hot water and ethanol as solvents. Both powders (called P1 for aqueous extract and P2 for ethanolic extract) proved to be rich sources of valuable bioactives, with microencapsulation efficiency up to 80%, both for anthocyanins and lactic acid bacteria. A higher content of anthocyanins was found in P1, of 102.91 ± 1.83 mg cyanindin-3-O-glucoside (C3G)/g dry weight (DW) when compared with only 27.60 ± 17.36 mg C3G/g DW in P2. The morphological analysis revealed the presence of large, thin, and fragile structures, with different sizes. A different pattern of gastric digestion was observed, with a highly protective effect of the matrix in P1 and a maximum decrease in anthocyanins of approximatively 44% in P2. In intestinal juice, the anthocyanins decreased significantly in P2, reaching a maximum of 97% at the end of digestion; whereas in P1, more than 45% from the initial anthocyanins content remained in the microparticles. Overall, the short-term storage stability test revealed a release of bioactive from P2 and a decrease in P1. The viable cells of lactic acid bacteria after 21 days of storage reached 7 log colony forming units (CFU)/g DW.
