TL;DR: Under optimum conditions, external calibration in solvent could be used for quantification purposes and limits of quantification were below the maximum contents established by the European Union regulation for these contaminants/commodity group combination.

TL;DR: Data prove that FBRA has an inhibitory effect on the hepatocarcinogenesis in rats and could be a promising chemopreventive agent for human liver as well as colorectal neoplasia.
Abstract: Epidemiological and preclinical studies have suggested that nutrition plays an important role in the etiology of cancer. Our group previously demonstrated that rice germ or fermented brown rice has a preventive effect on colorectal carcinogenesis. The experiment described here was examined for the potential anticancer properties of brown rice fermented by Aspergillus Oryzae (FBRA) in male F344 rats using inhibition of diethylnitrosoamine (DEN) and phenobarbital (PB)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis as the measure of preventive efficacy when this agent was administered at 5% and 10% levels in diet during initiation phase (during and until 1 week after carcinogen treatment) or post-initiation phase (beginning 1 week after carcinogen treatment) of the carcinogenesis. Rats were sacrificed 20 weeks after the initiation of DEN treatment (200 mg/kg body weight, once weekly for 3 weeks). Expression of liver tumors was evaluated histopathologically. Administration of 10% FBRA in the diet during the initiation phase significantly decreased the incidence (43% vs. 8%) and multiplicity (0.5+/-0.6 vs. 0.1+/-0.3) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as compared to those given the control diet. In addition, 5% and 10% of FBRA in the diet during post-initiation phase significantly decreased the incidence of HCC (43% vs. 15% and 9%, respectively) and multiplicity of hepatocellular adenoma (4.7+/-3.7 vs. 2.1+/-2.2 and 2.4+/-1.4, respectively) and HCC (0.5+/-0.6 vs. 0.2+/-0.4 and 0.1+/-0.3, respectively). These data prove that FBRA has an inhibitory effect on the hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. FBRA could be a promising chemopreventive agent for human liver as well as colorectal neoplasia.

TL;DR: Pigs were weaned at 28 days of age, and assigned randomly into 4 soybean meal-based diets containing different sources of starch: corn, brown rice, sticky rice, and Hi-Maize 1043 (resistant starch).

TL;DR: The degradation rate of pymetrozine in water was the fastest, followed by rice straw, which meant that a dosage of 300-600 g a.i.hm(-2) was recommended, which could be considered as safe to human beings and animals.

TL;DR: The equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) of rough rice, brown rice, corn kernels, corn cobs, soybeans, and red barley was measured at temperatures ranging from 5 to 50°C as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) of rough rice, brown rice, corn kernels, corn cobs, soybeans, and red
beans was measured at temperatures ranging from 5 to 50°C. Four ERH models and their estimated parameters were
evaluated for goodness-of-fit. Hysteresis effect was found for the ERH properties of rough rice, corn kernels, and corn
cobs. Drying temperatures of samples had a significant effect on the ERH properties. Comparing results of this study with
previously published data, the effect of the ERH determining method did not influence ERH properties. Varietal and
growing location differences did affect the ERH property for some grains.
