Development of germinated brown rice with vegetable juice ready-to-drink beverage

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the ratio of germinated brown rice and plant juice and sweetener types for mixed drink process. The ratio of germinated brown rice and plant juice were varied at 7:3, 8:2 and 9:1 in 1 littre of water, and sweetener types were changed to sugar, sorbitol and honey for adjusted the total soluble solids at 11Brix. Results showed that L*, a* and b* values of the mixed drink prepared by germinated brown rice and plant juice at a ratio of 8:2 were 36.17 1.80 and 12.10, respectively. The mixed drink obtained 14.85% DPPH free radical (DPPH 2,2-diphynyl-1-picrylthydrazyl). Furthermore, the fortified honey mixed drink provided highest overall preference score. The score was 7.60 in the 9-point hedonic scale from sensory evaluation.
