Abstract
Pigmented rice is naturally coloured rice comprises anthocyanins. The bran is being wasted during rice milling process, which contains anthocyanins and needs to be exploited as natural colouring agent. Present study revealed that rice bran was safe from microbes, heavy metals, pesticide residue and was stabilized by three stabilization methods (microwave, autoclave and pressure cooking). Results revealed that microwave stabilization is best suitable for bran. The macronutrients for moisture, protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate were 5.3, 16.67, 14.23, 5.62, 44.68 g per 100 g respectively and it includes 7.85 g of crude fibre, total dietary fibre of 23.34 g, insoluble dietary fibre 21.17 g and soluble dietary fibre 2.17g. Mineral content of bran indicates that the calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese and zinc were 52.1, 1194.3, 27.04, 158.8, 3.41, 361.40, 0.61, 12.53 and 6.09 mg per 100g respectively. The extraction of anthocyanin from rice bran by acidified ethanol extraction method was 8.8 g per 100 g of bran. Since these anthocyanins were heat sensitive, milk products and icing were selected to incorporate from 0.25 to 1 and 1 to 3 per cent level respectively and stored at 4⁰ C. It was revealed that developed milk products and icing were best accepted at 0.50 and 3 per cent level of anthocyanin incorporation respectively. Storage study revealed there was no microbial load in the developed products. Hence anthocyanin as a natural colouring agent can be successfully incorporated in food products.
