Germination by water soaking is a critical process in promoting
the antioxidative activity and bioactive compounds in
brown rice. GBR containsmuch higher levels of antioxidative
activity and bioactive compounds thanUBR. In order to maximize
antioxidative activity and bioactive compounds, germination
should be under the conditions of higher temperature
(36∘C in this study), long soaking time (72 h), darkness, and
closed vessel.Also, higher temperature (36∘C) during soaking
process is a key factor in promoting GABA content in the
GBR. Moreover, we find strong correlations between antioxidative
activities (DPPH radical scavenging ability, TEAC,
and reducing power) and bioactive compounds (
