TLDR
Black rice has been described as a functional food in several countries; however, there is great diversity among cultivars and further research on Indonesian varieties will determine whether local variants are candidates as well for the development of functional foods.
Abstract
Background: There are many local black rice cultivars in Indonesia, yet only a few of these are formally described in the literature. It has been reported that black rice has many phytochemical variants which may contribute to its use as a functional food, including nutraceuticals and secondary metabolites such as anthocyanin, oryzanol, and more. The purpose of this article was to review literature describing black rice cultivars from Indonesia, with a particular focus on its potential use as a functional food. Our literature search revealed several articles that describe black rice in relation to its nutraceutical properties and its role in reducing non-communicable diseases. Other studies describe the diversity of local pigmented rice and its potential for lowering the risk of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and for cancer prevention. Black rice has been described as a functional food in several countries; however, there is great diversity among cultivars and further research on Indonesian varieties will determine whether local variants are candidates as well for the development of functional foods. Keywords : black rice cultivar, functional food, non-communicable diseases, nutraceutical, phytochemical

Establishment of a plant tissue culture system and genetic transformation for agronomic improvement of Indonesian black rice (Oryza sativa L.)

TL;DR: It was found that the in vitro regeneration method established was able to generate fertile black rice plants and furthermore enabled the generation of transgenic plants and in vitro transformation was more efficient in terms of time taken and number of positive transformants than in planta transformation for genetic transformation of Indonesian black rice by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.

Genetic analysis on grain physical characteristics and grain color from the crosses of black × white rice genotypes

TL;DR: The result showed that maternal cytoplasmic effect was present in most F2 generations and their reciprocal crosses and the grain color did not follow the expected 1: 2: 1 ratio for incomplete dominance involving monogenic traits.

Characterization of Potentially Chemopreventive Phenols in Extracts of Brown Rice That Inhibit the Growth of Human Breast and Colon Cancer Cells

TL;DR: Brown rice and bran contain compounds with putative cancer chemopreventive properties and these phenols are present at much lower levels in white than in brown rice, suggesting the consumption of rice bran or brown rice instead of milled white rice may be advantageous with respect to cancer prevention.

Phenolic Profiles and Antioxidant Activity of Black Rice Bran of Different Commercially Available Varieties

TL;DR: There are significant differences in phytochemical content and antioxidant activity among the different black rice varieties and black rice bran has higher content of phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanins and has higher antioxidant activity when compared to white riceBran.
