Introduction: Rice is classified as waxy, very low, low, intermediate and high based on its amylose content (AC). Most people prefer to consume intermediate AC rice because of its texture which tends to appear in between low (moist and sticky) and high (dry and less tender). Although rice with high AC appears dry and less tender, it usually possess...

The study was carried out to evaluate the total phenolic constituents, antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities of Sabah Ruellia tuberosa. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the plant extracts were determined by using Folin-Ciocalteau and aluminium chloride colorimetric assays, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the plant extr...
