@article{Krishnaveni_2015, title={GC-MS/MS ANALYSIS OF BROWN RICE}, volume={8}, url={https://journals.innovareacademics.in/index.php/ajpcr/article/view/6162}, abstractNote={<p>Objective: The present study was undertaken to study the phytoconstituents quantitatively through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry<br />(MS)/MS, as well as its antibacterial, antifungal activities.<br />Methods: The ethanol extract of brown rice was used for the study. 25gram of brown rice powder was used for the extraction process.<br />Results: Each peak in the chromatogram represents the signal created by a compound that elutes from the GC column into the detector. The size of<br />the peaks is proportional to the quantity of the equivalent substances in the specimen analyzed. <br />The results obtained shows the highest peak for 6-(1-hydroxymethylvinyl)-4, 8a-dimethyl-3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8a-hexahydro-1H-naphthalen-2one,</p><p>26-Nor-5-cholesten-3β-ol-25-one, Propane, 1,1-diethoxy-, and stigmastan-3,5-diene. The remaining seven compounds (Stigmasteryl<br />tosylate, Tetradecanedioic acid, 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 6-acetyl-7-(acetyloxy)-4-methyl-, 3-Isopropoxy-1,1,1,7,7,7-hexamethyl,-3,5,5tris<br />(trimethylsiloxy) tetrasiloxane, Dodecanoic acid, ethyl ester, t-Butyl hydrogen phthalate) showed moderate levels of a peak area percent except<br />3, 4-Dihydroxy-α-(isopropylaminomethyl)-benzyl alcohol (isoproterenol) as it shows only 1.73 as peak area percent, which was found to be low<br />compared to other compounds identified. No compound was present in trace amount. The range of retention time falls within the range of 4.79<br />to 35.15.<br />Conclusion: The antimicrobial property could be attributed due to the phytochemicals present in brown rice. Essential oil, sterols and various other<br />bioactive constituents present in it would have been responsible for the antibacterial, antifungal activity. Brown rice is a whole grain which could be<br />germinated to improve its overall health benefits. Brown rice extract finds applications in pharmaceutical preparations.<br />Keywords: Antibacterial, Antifungal, Brown rice, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.</p>}, number={5}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={Krishnaveni, Marimuthu}, year={2015}, month={Sep.}, pages={73–76} }
