Effect of processing on thiamin and riboflavin contents of some high-yielding rice varieties of Punjab
1990
Grewal, P.K. | Sangha, J.K.
Six high-yielding varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L) were taken and subjected to 6 and 8% degree of milling. The raw rice and the parboiled rice were analysed microbiologically for thiamin and riboflavin contents. Milled parboiled rice contained more thiamin and riboflavin than milled raw rice at both the levels of milling because parboiling of paddy results in inward diffusion of water-soluble vitamins to the endosperm. The thiamin content of brown rice is reduced after parboiling. The loss may be due to the partial decomposition of thiamin during the stages of parboiling, but the riboflavin content of brown rice is found to be increased after parboiling.
