During germination, important changes in biochemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics occur resulting in the degradation of storage proteins and carbohydrates and promoting the synthesis and accumulation of biofunctional compounds. Germination process generally results in enhanced levels of vitamins, minerals, fibresand phytochemicals such as ferulic acid, GABA, g-oryzanol and antioxidant activity.In the last few years, great attention has been paid to the bioactivecompounds due to their ability to promote benefits for human health,such as the reduction in the incidence of some degenerative diseases likecancer and diabetesAntioxidants in whole cereal grains are considered to be majorcontributors to the health benefits of these foods. Whole grain (i.e.,unmilled, brown, rough) rice is a good source of antioxidants, mostof which are present in the bran and hull fractions. Lipophilicantioxidants, which include vitamin E homologues (including a-,b-, c-, and d-tocopherols and a-, b-, c-, and d-tocotrienols) andc-oryzanol, are abundant in whole grain rice, and their healthbenefits have been well-documented
