Abstract

The bran pigments in a variety of red rice were extracted with hot sodium bicarbonate solution and the intensity of this color was taken as a measure of the degree of bran removal during milling. The loss of thiamine during milling was of the same order for the red rice and a white rice with which it was milled. The use of the red rice as an indicator during rice milling is suggested.
