Comparison of gamma-aminobutyric acid production in Thai rice grains

Abstract: Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has many pharmacological functions including being a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Two comparative methods for GABA production in rice grains as main food source in Thailand were investigated in this study. Fermentation and germination method were separately carried out using seven selected local grain cultivars in northern Thailand. Red yeast rice, obtained from the fermentation method, gave the higher GABA concentration than the germinated rice produced from the germinatio… Show more

“…Enzyme activities do not change by the imbibition process, but are rapidly increased during germination (Kihara, Okada, Iimure, & Ito, 2007). This is especially true for glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) enzyme activity, which catalyses L-glutamic acid to GABA (Iimure et al, 2009;Jannoey et al, 2010;Oh, 2003). Many studies have reported that GABA is produced by soaking grains in water (Chung et al, 2009;Matsuyama et al, 2009).…”

“…GABA, a nonprotein amino acid, is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system, and it plays a critical role in the regulation of blood pressure and many other physiological functions (Lee and Pan ; Diana and others ). It can be produced in plants, microorganisms, and mammals, and it is widely distributed in various foods (Jannoey and others ). Considering the health benefits of GABA, the need for GABA‐rich foods is increasing, and various food processing methods, such as fermentation, have been employed to enhance its content (Dhakal and others ).…”
