Physicochemical characteristics and free amino acid content of germinated brown rice, high yield milyang356, during germination

We investigated the germination rate, color values, physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, and amino acid content of germinated brown rice varieties (milyang356, nampyeong, and dasan), and their statistical correlation were analyzed. Milyang356 rice was characterized by the highest germination percentage and total color difference value (3.89) at 24 h. In all varieties, the amylose and crude protein content increased on the 1st day of germination but decreased over time (p
