Abstract
The defatted rice bran extracts obtained by being treated with various subcritical aqueous fluids at 230 °C for 5 min were further subjected to an acetone-solubilization treatment. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity depended on the total phenolic content of a sample, the acetone-soluble fraction of the extract obtained with 40% (v/v) aqueous acetone showing the highest activity. Based on the UV spectrometric and HPLC analyses, the substances with higher absorbance around 280 nm and higher hydrophobicity were found solubilizing out from the extracts into the acetone during fractionation. A gel permeation chromatographic analysis suggested that the extracts comprised monomeric or oligomeric substances. The antioxidative activity was evaluated by a DPPH radical scavenging activity analysis, rancidity test, and autoxidation analysis, revealing that it would be most likely to exert a radical scavenging effect more effectively during the initial stage of lipid oxidation than during the propagation stage.
