BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Brown rice contains high amounts of dietary fibre and other polysaccharides such as arabinoxylan and -glucan.

Detailed explanation-2: -Brown rice has nutritional benefits due to its abundant nutrients and high dietary fiber content. However, it is often consumed in a fermented form for improved chewy texture and digestibility. In this study, a polysaccharide, FBR-4a, was isolated from fermented brown rice and its chemical composition was analyzed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The type of polysaccharide, which is present in rice is glycogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polysaccharides are generally not sweet and are not water soluble. Starches and dietary fiber are complex carbohydrates. Starch, a complex carbohydrate in potatoes, pasta and rice, is a polysaccharide made up of many hundreds of units of glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Polysaccharide is a natural macromolecule located in the primary cell walls of plants. It was built from hundreds to thousands of monosaccharide combination through dehydration synthesis. Starch, cellulose, and glycogen are some examples of polysaccharides.
