Abstract
A total of 101 local rice varieties, composted of 85 glutinous and 16 non-glutinous varieties grown in wet season 2016, were analyzed for tocopherols (TOC), tocotrienols (T3) and γ-oryzanol (Orz). Two popular varieties, RD6 and KDML105, were used as standard checks for glutinous and non-glutinous varieties, respectively. γ-TOC was found in all glutinous varieties (0.47-9.78 mg/kg), which were higher than RD6 (0.16 mg/kg). α-TOC was found in 40 varieties (1.02-6.29 mg/kg), only 6 varities were higher than RD6 (3.95 mg/kg). δ-T3 was found in 81 varieties (0.57-7.00 mg/kg), mostly varities were higher than RD6 (0.67 mg/kg). γ-T3 was found in all glutinous varieties (8.00-22.1 mg/kg), while RD6 contained 13.3 mg/kg. For α-T3, it was found in 39 glutinous varieties (1.52-9.94 mg/kg), mostly varities were higher than RD6 (2.62 mg/kg). Orz was found in all glutinous rice varieties (276-638 mg/kg), while RD6 contained 423 mg/kg. γ-TOC was found in all non-glutinous varieties (0.67-5.21 mg/kg), which were higher than KDML105. α-TOC was found in only 5 varieties (1.92-2.83 mg/kg), while KDML105 contained 2.23 mg/kg. δ-T3 was found in all non-glutinous varieties (1.64-8.87 mg/kg), which were higher than KDML105 (0.71 mg/kg). γ-T3 was also found in all non-glutinous varieties (8.80-17.58 mg/kg), while KDML105 contained 15.8 mg/kg. α-T3 was found in 9 non-glutinous varieties (4.56-8.93 mg/kg),while KDML105 contained only 0.86 mg/kg. Orz was also found in all those non-glutinous varieties (272-469 mg/kg), while KDML105 contained 469 mg/kg. These results indicate that γ-T3 was the highest vitamin E isomer present in all rice samples, while γ-TOC, α-TOC, δ-T3 and α-T3 were present in trace amounts. Orz was found in all local rice varieties.
