Oxidative stability of fried dough from rice flour containing rice bran powder during storage

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of rice bran powder on lipid peroxidation inhibition of fried dough from rice flour during storage. Rice flour dough containing rice bran powder at 5, 10 and 15 g rice bran powder/100 g mixed rice flour were fried in soybean oil at 160 °C for 1 min and stored in dark at 60 °C for 10 days. Lipid peroxidation of fried dough was determined by change of fatty acid compositions, oxygen absorption in vial headspace, lipid hydroperoxides, TBA values including decreasing tocopherol and gamma-oryzanol contents during storage. Polyunsaturated fatty acid decreased rapidly in fried dough without rice bran powder, while an increase of oxygen absorption in vial headspace, lipid hydroperoxide and TBA values were significantly lower (p⩽0.05) in fried dough containing rice bran powder. In addition, tocopherol degradation was significantly lower in fried dough containing rice bran powder during storage (p⩽0.05). However, there was no significant difference in gamma-oryzanol contents among fried dough during storage (p>0.05). These results demonstrated that rice bran powder shows the antioxidative effects on fried dough during storage.
