Brown rice had the highest phytic acid level (11.2 mg/100 g), which was 1.2 times higher than germinated brown rice (p < 0.05). However, phytic acid was not detected in white rice. White rice (10.25 mg/100 g) and brown rice (10.04 mg/100 g) had the highest no...
An interesting fact a lot of people don’t know about brown rice is thatit contains the “anti-nutrient”phytic acid(aka phytate),which hinders the body’s ability to actually absorb the nutrients it contains(sourceshereandhere). In studies looking specifically at brown rice and white rice, ...
“What is probably not as well-known is that brown rice accommodates compounds known as antinutrients, which may scale back the absorption of the vitamins in that meals,” says Mitri. “Brown rice is increased in phytic acid, which may bind to and scale back the absorption of minerals remi...

Phytase activity of steeped and sprouted brown rice was determined by spectrophotometric analysis based on AOAC (Engelen et al. 2001) with minor modification. One activity unit (1 U) is defined as the quantity of enzyme that will liberate 1 μmol phosphate from phytic acid per min at 37 °...
