Solid state fermentation (SSF) utilizing filamentous fungus Amylomyces rouxii was investigated as a bio-processing strategy to enhance the bioactive properties of broken rice. Fermentation was carried out for 18 days and samples were withdrawn at 2-days interval. Established methods were deployed to assess the changes in bioactive properties and compounds content in fermented broken rice. The bioactive properties studied were total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH-radical scavenging activity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Additionally, tyrosinase inhibition activity, which represents anti-pigmentation/browning property, was evaluated. Free phenolic acids and organic acids content were determined through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that fermentation significantly increased the total phenolic content of broken rice from 0.03 mg GAE/g sample to 3.94 mg GAE/g sample and total flavonoid content from 0.04 to 1.71 mg QE/g sample. By the end of the fermentation, DPPH-radical scavenging of fermented broken rice was enhanced to 94.22%, compared to 9.03% in the unfermented sample. It was also observed that FRAP and tyrosinase inhibition activity of fermented broken rice were improved up to 39- fold and 50-fold, respectively. Kojic acid, a potent antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitor, was detected in fermented broken rice, along with oxalic and ascorbic acid. Gallic, protocatechuic and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids were enhanced upon fermentation. This study manifested the positive effect of broken rice after fermentation with A. rouxii and thus revealed the potential of fermented broken rice as a promising natural bio-ingredients in food, cosmetics and medicinal products.
