M.A. Dr. Kabir Y. Dr. July 2017 6 7 01 02 ABSTRACT

 Being rich in nutritional value and food functionality, pre–germinated brown rice has added advantage over polished milled rice or brown rice considering physiological, clinical and nutritional aspects. A total of  ten rice varieties of brown rice including both traditional rice such as Ghungshe, Kajalsail, Monteshor, Moulata, Sadamota and high–yielding variety such as BR22, BR23, BRRI dhan31, BRRI dhan40, BRRI dhan41 were analyzed for the presence of important amino acids such as GABA, Glutamic acid, Methionine, Lysine, Histidine and Arginine. Our data revealed that BRRI dhan31 possess the most elevated content of GABA among ten rice varieties. Since GABA has nutritionally potential to mediate recovery to many disorders such as Diabetics, Hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease so dietary administration of BRRI dhan31 at pre–germinated brown rice condition might be supportive to get a better healthy lifestyle.
