56 compounds such as phenolic compounds, γ-oryzanol, and dietary fibers, as well as antioxidants (Ohtsubo et al., 2005; Pascual et al., 2013; Thomas et al., 2015; Tuncel & Yılmaz, 2011). Hereby, a number of researches have shown that brown rice has many health benefits, such as antioxidative properties, anti-hyperglycemia, anti-hypocholesterolaemia, and cardioprotective effects (Mir et al., 2017). There are more than hundred varieties of paddy which are already cultivated in Indonesia. These varieties span between local and national varieties, including pigmented and nonpigmented cultivars. In the local varieties, the paddy has been cultivated from generation-to-generation. On the other side, national varieties are those that have been developed, registered and released by the government. Nowadays, the researches related to the development of new types of paddy in Indonesia are continuing in order to obtain desired superior varieties. National superior variety usually refers to the developed strain breeding with one or more special benefits, such as high yield, resistance to any pest and disease, tolerant to environmental stress, etc. Since consumers become more aware of the potential benefits obtained from daily diets, the selection of the rice varieties having enhanced nutritional traits or containing higher amount of bioactive compounds is of importance (Kaushik et al., 2015; Mahender et al., 2016).
