ABSTRACTBlack glutinous rice bran (Oryza sativa L.) is a potential source of the dark purple anthocyanin pigments. This study investigated some quality aspects and bioactive compounds of the colourant powder obtained from rice bran extracted by ohmic heating (OHM) assisted solvent extraction. The moisture content (MC) of the bran sample investigated was adjusted to 30% and 40%. Four different levels of electric field strengths (E) of 50, 100, 150, and 200 V cm– 1 were applied. The results s...
