Gluten-free
) Gluten can cause celiac disease that damage the
mucose of the small intestine leading to
malabsorption of nutrients to gluten intolerant
people (Thompson T, 1997; Collin et al. 2004)
Hypo-allergenic
) Some proteins can cause allergic reactions such
as Baker’s asthma, severe dermatitis, and ezcema
to sensitive people (Usui et al. 2001)

RICE BRAN PEPTIDES
2009 JAN 27 - (NewsRx.com) -- "Rice bran, an economical, underutilized coproduct of rough rice milling, was used to
produce peptide hydrolysates, which were investigated for anticancer activity (see also Liver Cancer). Protein
hydrolysates prepared by Alcalase hydrolysis under optimized conditions were treated further to obtain gastrointestinal
(GI)-resistant peptide hydrolysates," scientists in the United States report.
"They were fractionated into > 50, 10-50, 5-10, and <5 kDa sizes and evaluated for inhibitory activity on proliferation of
human colon (Caco-2) and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines by Trypan blue dye exclusion assay. GI-resistant <5 and 5-10
kDa sized peptide fractions inhibited growth of Caco-2 cells by 80%, and the <5 kDa fraction inhibited growth of HepG2
cells by similar to 50% compared to controls and nonresistant fractions. An MTS cell titer assay confirmed antiproliferative
effects of the peptide fractions," wrote A. Kannan and colleagues, University of Arkansas.
The researchers concluded: "The results demonstrated that 5-10 and <5 kDa sized GI-resistant fractions promoted
significant (p < 0.05) inhibitory activities on both cancer cell lines compared to controls, More investigations are needed to
show such value-added effects on the technofunctional and sensorial properties of the food protein and peptide matrices."
Kannan and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (Human Colon and Liver
Cancer Cell Proliferation Inhibition by Peptide Hydrolysates Derived from Heat-Stabilized Defatted Rice Bran. Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008;56(24):11643-11647).
