Riceberry bran (RBB), a waste product from rice processing, contains several antioxidants with potential health benefits. This study aims to compare the two main parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of antioxidants from RBB, namely, the extraction technique (ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and conventional solvent extraction) and solvent (ethanol and D-limonene). The highest values of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays were detected in ethanolic extracts obtained by UAE. High-performance liquid chromatography investigation of the chemical composition of RBB revealed five major groups of antioxidants: (1) phenolic acids, including protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and sinapic acid; (2) flavonoids, including rutin, myricetin, and quercetin 3-glucuronide; (3) anthocyanins, including cyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside; (4) vitamin E, including γ-tocotrienol, β-tocotrienol, δ-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, and α-tocopherol; and (5) γ-oryzanol. Protocatechuic acid exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and FRAP values, whereas the lowest values were observed for γ-oryzanol.
