Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Rice is generally considered a good source of nutritional energy but a minor source of protein and a poor source of other nutrients. When I called a friend and colleague, a professor of Nutrition at Cornell University to ask him about nutrients in rice, his initial response was, “well, there aren’t many.” However, rice is in fact potentially rich source of
  2. The focus of the “Green Revolution” has been on producing higher rice yields. Agronomists, plant breeders and rice farmers have opportunities to improve the quality and quantity of nutrients in the rice and to have an impact on human health beyond producing a source of dietary energy. Improvements in the nutrient potential and health potential of rice can be made by a combination of factors: management of soil, water and fertilizer, organic or chemical, affect the expression of the genetic potential, and, ultimately the nutrient quality of rice
  3. We’ll start with how to utilize all the nutrients in rice. Structure of the rice grain is important in understanding how nutrients are available.
  4. The husk is removed in milling and the bran in polishing Milling and polishing destroys 80% of the B vitamins, most of the iron, zinc, manganese and magnesium and phosphorus, all of the dietary fiber and all of the lipids and vitamin E and vitamin A precursors.
  5. Not just for regularity! Lipid turns rancid during storage. The main reason for milling rice is to extend the storage life.
  6. Researchers in Japan demonstrated that adding rice bran to the diets of hypertensive, stroke-prone rats lowered the animals’ systolic blood pressure by about 20 percent via the same mechanism as ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-1 converting enzyme inhibitors).
  7. For the world’s well nourished people, the high digestibility of rice starches can be a contributing factor to our current epidemic of obesity, hypertension, type II diabetes and arteriosclerotic heart disease. Adding back the bran to rice can change it from a food with a high glycemic index that can contribute to the risk for type II diabetes to a health food that can be helpful in the dietary management of blood sugar for people who have diabetes.              Glycemic Index is a measure of how much and how long a given consumed carbohydrate raises blood glucose in comparison with how much and how long a standard amount of consumed glucose or white bread raises blood glucose. Foods with high glycemic indices cause the blood sugar to rise rapidly and drop rapidly; those with a low glycemic index cause the blood sugar to rise more slowly and decline more slowly.            Foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar complicate the management of diabetes and predispose to the development of type II diabetes by stimulating the production of insulin.            The starch in rice must be hydrolyzed in the intestinal tract prior to its absorption into the blood stream as glucose molecules. Starch in rice has two fractions:   o        Amylose is a chain of linearly linked glucose molecules; rice with high amylose content absorbs more water during cooking and when cooked becomes fluffy o        Amylopectin is a branching chain of glucose molecules. Rice with more amylopectin absorbs less water during cooking and has a sticky texture. o        When starch is cooked in water it becomes gelatinized. As it cools, it recrystallizes.           Waxy rices with high amylopectin have a high degree of reversible recrystallization. They are more digestible and have a higher glycemic index.           Non-waxy rices with high amylose have partially irreversible recrystallization. The irreversibly recrystallized or “retrograded” starch is less digestible. Rices with high amylose tend to have a lower glycemic index.
  8. Need to explain the mechanism of how it inhibits ACE
  9.          Rice protein (actually several proteins and variable amounts of free amino acids) has high biologic value in comparison with protein from other cereal grains. This is very important for the many people who have access to little animal protein and depend on rice for most of their protein needs.   o        The biologic value of a protein is a measure of how well it is absorbed and utilized by the human body. The biologic value of a protein is determined by its amino acid composition. o        Proteins are the building blocks of human tissue, hormones, neurotransmitters, and antibodies. Proteins are synthesized in the human body from 20 amino acids. Eight of the amino acids are “essential” because they are not synthesized in the body and must be obtained from the diet. o        Essential amino acids are utilized by the human body most efficiently when they are present in the diet in a specific composition. When one essential amino acid is present in low concentration relative to the others in a given food, it limits the value of that food for human protein synthesis. Lysine is a limiting amino acid in rice. o        The amino acid pattern of egg albumen is used as a standard of comparison.   o        Protein source o        Biological value o        Egg o        100 o        Rice o        86 o        Corn o        40            The total protein content and biologic value of rice protein varies both by cultivar and by cultivation.
  10. In traditional cultivars and conventionally bred rices, iron is found only in the bran . Some Philippine and Malaysian highly colored landraces have been found to have relatively high betacarotenoids in association with relatively high unsaturated fatty acid content. The betacarotenoids are converted to vitamin A in the intestinal tract in the presence of unsaturated fatty acids. These rices can contribute to but not provide a person’s entire daily requirement of vitamin A precursors.
  11. Explain BV Cultivation practices also affect the biologic value of the rice protein. A Bulgarian research project demonstrated that application of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer increased crop yield, increased total protein content but the protein had a lower biologic value because of the relative decrease in Lysine, Arginine, Threonine, Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine of 5 to 24%. The effect of fertilizer application on amino acid composition of the rice produced varied with the cultivar
  12. The challenge for farmers and agronomists is to produce high yields with high protein content of high biologic value.
