Defatted rice bran (DRB), a byproduct of rice
milling is a rich source of dietary fiber and minerals. In the
present study, the physico-chemical characteristics, antioxidant
potential of defatted rice bran (Laboratory-LDRB and
Commercial -CDRB) and its utilization in preparation of
bread were studied. The effect of incorporation of CDRB at
varying levels (5, 10 & 15%) on the quality characteristics
of bread including physical, rheological and sensory
attributes were evaluated and the dietary fiber content and
antioxidant activity were determined.
