Phospholipids in rice: Significance in grain quality and health benefits: A review

► Rice phospholipids (PLs) have both nutritional and functional significance. ► PLs represent ∼10% and 50% of total lipids in rice bran and non-waxy white rice. ► PLs affect rice storage, starch physicochemical properties and digestibility. ► Rice starch lysophospholipids may help to control Type 2 diabetes. ► Rice PLs research can be significantly advanced using modern instruments.
