Mineral content of dehulled and well-milled pigmented and non-pigmented rice varieties in the Philippines

Abstract

© 2018 Universiti Putra Malaysia. The iron, zinc, phosphorus, and manganese contents of dehulled and well-milled pigmented and non-pigmented rice varieties were determined. Pigmented rice had the highest mineral content compared to the non-pigmented rice, regardless of variety. However, non-pigmented had higher phosphorus content. Among the non-pigmented rice varieties, Jasmin rice contains the highest zinc content. Sinandomeng contains the highest iron content, IR 64 contains the highest manganese content, and Milagrosa contains the highest phosphorus content. On the other hand, upon comparing the pigmented rice varieties, Dinorado contains the highest zinc and phosphorus content, Perurutong contains the highest iron, and Malagaya Tapul contains the highest manganese content. The dehulled varieties of pigmented rice contain high mineral content compared to well-milled rice. However, Ballatinao and Malagaya Tapul contain high levels of zinc and manganese in well-milled rice and high levels of iron and phosphorus in dehulled rice.
