Abstract:
Rice bran is rich in nutrients and bioactive components, which plays an important role in reducing dyslipidemia and regulating intestinal flora. However, due to the rice bran's instability resulting from rancidity during storage, the development is limited. E-nose, GC-MS and E-tongue were used to monitor the flavor and bitterness of different stabilized rice bran during accelerated storage, and the change of physicochemical properties in rice bran was determined. The rice bran flavor significantly changed after five stabilization treatments. The bitterness increased during storage, but the growth was small (from 7.39 to 7.62). Besides, after stabilization treatments, lipase (LA) activities gradually decreased from 10.11 to 2.03 mg/g, and lipoxygenase (Lox) activities decreased from 3.71 to 1.38 U/g. These results comprehensively elucidate changes in volatile composition, bitterness and physicochemical properties of stabilized rice bran samples during storage and lay the foundation for improving its acceptability and edibility in the future.
