Purpose Rice landraces are essential for supplying beneficial traits for developing improved rice varieties with better nutritional quality. Nevertheless, in a yield-driven environment, grain nutritional quality has been ignored especially that of rice landraces. Given this, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the content and nutritional variability of rice landraces from Manipur. Design/methodology/approach Thirty-three most popular rice landraces were collected as dry paddy samples from Manipur and transported to the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, by air. All the paddy samples were processed and analyzed for 35 nutrient parameters using standard methodologies. Findings The mean nutrient content of Nagaland brown rice was: protein 7.5 ± 0.8, fat 3.0 ± 0.3, TDF 5.5 ± 0.4 and ash 1.2 ± 0.2 g/100g. The range of water soluble-vitamin content in mg/100g, was 0.1–0.43 for Thiamine and for Niacin 2.1–3.5, while the content in µg/100g was 40–64 for Riboflavin, 0.5–3.9 for Pantothenic acid and 20–118 for Pyridoxine. A relatively large coefficient of variation was observed for iron (25%), manganese (28%), copper (32%), calcium (13%) and phosphorus (11%). Manipur rice landraces have significantly higher total dietary fiber and lower phytate contents than modern varieties. Milling led to steep losses of nutrients, and limiting to 5% milling substantially improves nutrient retention in milled rice. Research limitations/implications Future nutrition interventions should use rice with superior nutrient quality to improve nutrient intakes. Manipur rice landraces conserved over generations can broaden the genetic base of breeding stocks especially in the face of climate change. Originality/value The paper presents comprehensive nutritional data of 33 rice landraces from the state of Manipur, India. The results indicate large nutrient variability even within these 33 rice landraces with important traits such as high total dietary fiber and low phytate contents. The study highlights the importance of conserving the existing rich genetic material of Manipur rice landraces to develop varieties that combine higher yields with stress tolerance and superior grain nutritional value to improve the food and nutrient security.

Brown rice is nutritionally superior to white rice, yet oil rancidity can be problematic during processing and storage regarding sensory attributes. Germinating brown rice is known to generally increase some health-promoting compounds. In response to increasing the consumption of plant-based beverages, we sprouted unstabilized brown rice, using green technologies and saccharification enzymes for value-added beverages. ‘Rondo’ paddy rice was dehulled, sorted and germinated, and beverages were produced and compared against non-germinated brown and white brewers rice beverages. The preliminary germinated brown rice beverage contained significantly higher concentrations of total lipids, diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, free sterols, phytosterol esters and oryzanols than both non-germinated brown and white rice beverages. White rice beverages had significantly higher free fatty acids. Significant lipid losses occurred during sieving, yet novel germinated brown rice beverages contained appreciable levels of valuable health-beneficial lipids, which appeared to form natural emulsions. Further pilot plant investigations should be scaled-up for pasteurization and adjusted through emulsification to ameliorate sieving losses.

Pig manure (PM) is often highly enriched in heavy metals, such as Cu and Zn, due to the wide use of feed additives. To study the potential risks of heavy metal accumulation in the soil and rice grains by the application of PM and other organic manure, a four-year field experiment was conducted in the suburb of Shanghai, southeast China. The contents of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the soils and rice plants by the treatments of PM and fungal culturing residues (FCR) show a trend of annual increase. Those in the soils and rice by the PM treatment are raised even more significantly. Cu and Zn contents in the soil and rice roots by the PM are significantly higher than those by the non-fertilizer control (CK) during the four years, and Pb and Cd also significantly higher than CK in the latter two years. Heavy metals taken up by the rice plants are mostly retained in the roots. Cu and Zn contents in the rice plants are in the decreasing order of roots > grains > stems > leaves, and Pb and Cd in the order of roots > stems > leaves > grains. Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd contents in the soils by the PM treatment increase by 73%, 32%, 106%, and 127% on annual average, and those in the brown rice by 104%, 98%, 275%, and 199%, respectively. The contents of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the brown rice of the treatments are significantly correlated with those in the soils and rice roots (p < 0.05), suggesting the heavy metals accumulated in the rice grains come from the application of PM and FCR. Though the contents of heavy metals in the brown rice during the four experimental years are still within the safe levels, the risks of their accumulative increments, especially by long-term application of PM, can never be neglected.

Abstract It has been reported that rice consumption is the main mercury (Hg) exposure pathway for humans, and soil properties could significantly affect the methylation and accumulation process of Hg in soil-rice system. In this study, 19 paddy soil with various properties were spiked with exogenous Hg(II) at three concentration levels to conduct a pot experiment after a 60-days aging period. Stepwise multiple linear regression was applied to determine the controlling soil factors and develop prediction models for the methylmercury (MeHg) concentration in soil and total Hg (THg) and MeHg in brown rice. The results showed that THg in brown rice was positively correlated with THg in soil, while it had a negative correlation with soil pH and clay content. Soil organic matter (OM) promoted Hg methylation and inhibited the accumulation of MeHg in brown rice. Soil pH and clay content were negative factors when soil MeHg was used to predict MeHg in brown rice. THg and MeHg in brown rice could be well predicted by soil THg, pH and clay content. These results may provide a theoretical basis for safe production of rice in Hg contaminated paddy field.

Whole grain brown rice, being a rich source of fiber and other bioactive compounds like polyphenols is effective in reducing the risk of chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia and Type II diabetes. The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical, functional and antioxidant properties of whole grain brown rice flour. The brown rice flour was conditioned to two different moisture contents of 10% and 12% and treated with gamma irradiation doses of 0 kGy (native or control), 2.5 kGy and 5 kGy. Moisture, protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate content of native flour was found as 10 g/100 g, 6.54 g/100 g, 1.54 g/100 g, 1.0 g/100 g, and 81.48 g/100 g, respectively. The hunter color ‘L’, ‘a’, and ‘b’ values of the native brown rice flour sample were found as 81.95, −0.97 and 17.36, respectively and were non-significantly ( p ≥ 0.05) affected by gamma irradiation. Apparent amylose content was observed to decrease significantly ( p ≤ 0.05) from 29.97 to 20.30 g/100 g with the increase in gamma irradiation dose and moisture content. The pasting properties such as peak viscosity, trough viscosity and final viscosity of all the flour samples decreased significantly ( p ≤ 0.05) with the increase in irradiation dose. The functional properties such as water and oil absorption and emulsion capacities were increased while emulsion stability and foaming stability decreased upon irradiation. Irradiation led to an overall increase in the antioxidant activity of rice flours. In general, FTIR spectra revealed a decrease in the absorption intensities of the functional groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that gamma irradiation can be used as a tool to modify the physicochemical properties of rice flours as well as to improve their antioxidant properties.

Plant polyploidization is frequently associated with changes in nutrient contents. However, the possible contribution of metabolites to this change has not been investigated by characterizing the metabolite contents of diploid and tetraploid forms of rice (Oryza sativa L.). We compared the metabolites of a group of diploid–tetraploid japonica brown rice and a group of diploid–tetraploid indica brown rice based on liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. In total, 401 metabolites were identified; of these, between the two diploid–tetraploid groups, 180 showed opposite expression trends, but 221 showed the same trends (147 higher abundance vs. 74 lower abundance). Hierarchical cluster analysis of differential metabolites between diploid and tetraploid species showed a clear grouping pattern, in which the expression abundance of lipids, amino acids and derivatives, and phenolic acids increased in tetraploids. Further analysis revealed that the lipids in tetraploid rice increased significantly, especially unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids. This study provides further basis for understanding the changes in rice nutritional quality following polyploidization and may serve as a new theoretical reference for breeding eutrophic or functional rice varieties via polyploidization.
