Lipids
During parboiling, the lipid bodies or the spherosomes of the
non-starch lipids are broken and fat is released from the surface
of kernel. This band of lipids are diffused outwards and hence
the bran of parboiled rice is more oily (Mahadevappa and Desikachar, 1968) whereas the parboiled rice kernels (after milling) are
less in lipid content than brown rice (Sareepuang et al., 2008)
