Clinical Scorecard: Inside the Lipidome of Colorful Rice

At a Glance

Key Highlights

• 196 lipid molecules identified across 56 japonica rice cultivars
• Detection of fatty acid esters of hydroxy medium-chain fatty acids (FAHMFAs)
• Black rice had the lowest estimated glycemic index among cultivars
• Multivariate analysis linked lipid patterns to grain pigmentation
• Organic and conventional cultivation practices influenced lipid composition
