TL;DR: The rice particles in the rice slurry settled to the bottom when the slurry was allowed to remain for several hours and the sedimentation velocity decreased exponentially with the viscosity and was steady at more than 80mPa/s when the concentration of xanthan gum exceeded 0.1% as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: IRRI identified improved rice with good yielding ability and high concentration of iron and zinc in the grain that would have meaningful impact on human nutrition and health.
Abstract: Micronutrient deficiency 'hidden hunge' + affects more than 3.7 billion people worldwide, predominantly women and children because of their physiological needs. Iron and zinc deficiencies cause impaired immune function, complications in pregnancy and childbirth, poor child growth and learning ability, and reduce labor productivity. In 1992, IRRI began to examine the effect of certain soil characteristics on the iron content in the grain and was expanded in 1995 to include zinc and collaboration with university of Adelaide, Australia for mineral analysis. Germplasm screening showed large genetic variation for Fe and Zn in brown rice. Common cultivars contain about 12mg kg-1 of iron and 25mg kg-1 Zn. Some traditional varieties have doubled these amounts. Genetics of high Fe trait showed the importance of additive and dominance gene action but less affected by environment. Moreover three QTLS for high Fe trait were tagged in rice chromosomes. High iron and zinc traits can be combined with improved agronomic traits. IRRI identified improved rice with good yielding ability and high concentration of iron and zinc in the grain. Because of the high consumption of rice in developing countries, the extra iron and zinc would have meaningful impact on human nutrition and health

TL;DR: The results suggest that BRPH includes unique peptides that reduce weight gain and hepatic cholesterol synthesis, and that hepatic genes for lipid oxidation and cholesterol synthesis were highest for hamsters fed the BRPH supplemented diet.
Abstract: The physiological effects of the hydrolysates of white rice protein (WRP), brown rice protein (BRP), and soy protein (SP) hydrolyzed by the food grade enzyme, alcalase2.4 L, were compared to the original protein source. Male Syrian Golden hamsters were fed high-fat diets containing either 20% casein (control) or 20% extracted proteins or their hydrolysates as the protein source for 3 weeks. The brown rice protein hydrolysate (BRPH) diet group reduced weight gain 76% compared with the control. Animals fed the BRPH supplemented diet also had lower final body weight, liver weight, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and liver cholesterol, and higher fecal fat and bile acid excretion than the control. Expression levels of hepatic genes for lipid oxidation, PPARα, ACOX1, and CPT1, were highest for hamsters fed the BRPH supplemented diet. Expression of CYP7A1, the gene regulating bile acid synthesis, was higher in all test groups. Expression of CYP51, a gene coding for an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, was highest in the BRPH diet group. The results suggest that BRPH includes unique peptides that reduce weight gain and hepatic cholesterol synthesis.

TL;DR: The levels of mycotoxins gradually decreased with the increase in the time of exposure to UV-C radiation, demonstratingUV-C irradiation to be an effective method in fungal control and reduction of mycottoxins in stored rice.
