The main products that the project achieved are the process of producing young rice flour with high antioxidant activity with a scale of 1kg/batch for two rice varieties IR50404 and Fragrant rice; Production process of young rice extract with antifungal properties with a scale of 1 liter/batch for two rice varieties IR50404 and Blood dragon; Production of young rice flour of two rice varieties IR50404 and Fragrant rice with high antioxidant activity (2kg); Production of young rice extracts of two rice varieties IR50404 and Blood Dragon with high antifungal activity (2 liters).
The Council evaluated the study has implemented the contents on schedule and with novelty. In addition, the Council also gave some suggestions for the research team to edit and complete the content according to the explanatory outline.
