Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of solid state fermentation of de-oiled rice bran (DORB) with Rhizopus oryzae on in vitro protein digestibility, anti-nutritional factors and fatty acid profile. The fermentation of DORB with Rhizopus oryzae significantly reduced the in vitro protein digestibility of DORB (p < .05). The fermentation of DORB with Rhizopus oryzae increased the saturated fatty acid (SFA) content by 46.83%, while decreased the MUFA and PUFA contents by 14.01 and 8.76%, respectively. The n-6 fatty acid content of FDORB increased by 6.19%, while n-3 fatty acid content decreased by 53.92%. The fermentation of DORB resulted in significant reduction in phytate and trypsin inhibitor activity (p < .05). Based on the present result it is concluded that the fermentation of DORB with Rhizopus oryzae improves the n-6 fatty acid profile and brings significant reduction in the phyate and trypsin inhibitor content but fails to improve the in vitro protein digestibility and hence cannot be recommended as a suitable microbe for DORB fermentation.
