Later, the corresponding bioactive compound was identified as Acylated Steryl Glucosides (ASGs) which was found to be a bioactive substance that may affect pancreatic-cells through the activation of insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) dependent mechanisms in the diabetic condition. To improve the functional dietary intake of Thai rice, identification of ASGs in seven varieties, namely: Khao DawkMali 105, PTT1, RD31, Sang yod, RD6, Niaw Dam Chum Pae and Niaw Dam Maw, brown and pre-germinated Thai rice varieties were carried out. Brown and pregerminated rice were analyzed to search for ASGs using GC-MS to identify the sterol moieties, and... |
