| Abstract | Melatonin is a hormone synthesized in the pineal gland of the brain. It plays an important role in regulating the biological rhythm of the body, improve the sleeping quality, and exhibits strong antioxidant activity in animals and human. Melatonin can also be found in plants and plays a significant role in seed germination and regulates plant growth. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of germination on changes of melatonin and its derivative i.e. serotonin content distributed in different milling fractions of germinated rice including rice bran, polished rice, and brown rice. The paddy rice of non-waxy rice (Red Mali) and waxy-rice (RD 6) were soaked in water for 24 h and then germinated in room temperature for 1, 2, 3, and 4 days. The samples were dried and milled to obtain brown rice prior to polishing to obtain polished rice and rice bran. The results showed that germination improved melatonin content approximately 2 and 3 folds in both rice types after germinated from 2 to 4 days. In non-waxy rice, all milling fractions were a rich source of melatonin when germinated for 2 and 3 days whereas highest level of melatonin of waxy rice was found in brown rice and polished rice after germinated for 3 to 4 days. These results suggested that all fractions of germinated rice are a rich source of melatonin and rice bran fraction is a good source of serotonin revealing the potential use of each milling fraction of rice grain |
