The brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all part of grains provide fiber and several vitamins and minerals. Brown rice has many health benefits and reduce the risk of diseases. Germinated brown rice contains more bioactive components, such as ferulic acid and GAMA (gamma aminobutyric acid). It is powerful neurotransmitter, boosting the central nervous system’s ability to support good sleep and reduce stress. Antioxidants prevent the damage caused by oxidation by scavenging free radicals from the body cells provides immunity to the body. Antioxidant activities of phenolic acids in the brown rice protect the body cells against oxidative damage, reduce the risk of disease. The acidic and basic catalysed hydrolysis in germinated brown rice (GBR) by the total phenol and flavonoid content responsible for antioxidant activity. GBR contains an stronger free-radical scavenging effect and a greater concentrations of bioactive compounds including total phenols and total flavonoid. GABA is a natural brain relaxant that makes relax during stress after the neurotransmitter is released. GABA activity leads to control anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Alpha-amylase ptyalin is produced in the digestive system of humans and other mammals by salivary glands acts upon the starches. The starches can be broken down to maltose by ptyalin during digestion involves in the function of catalysing the hydrolysis of start into maltose and dextrin.
