Editor’s Team Nomatech Sdn Bhd Copyright of Nomatech Sdn Bhd © 5 | Page Introduction Primera Red Rice After seven years of research, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) scientists with the cooperation of the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) research staff have successfully produced a variety of rice which not only can increase paddy yield but also has a low gylcaemic index of 46 suitable for diabetics. Its Plant Genetics and Biotechnology expert, from the Faculty of Science and Technology, Prof. Dr. Wickneswari Ratnam assisted by some 14 other scientists from UKM, (MARDI), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Malaysia Nuclear Agency (MNA) and University of Malaya (UM) had been doing research on rice yield improvement since 2002 and have succeeded in producing the new paddy variant G33 named UKMRC9 which can increase local red rice production. It can be described as superior crossbred red rice developed through conventional breeding involving controlled cross pollination between Oryza sativa cultivar MR219 and wild rice Oryza rufipogon. It involved the transfer of genes of the wild type with red pericarp by hybridization and repeated backcrossing to MR219 with white pericarp. Though the initial research was aimed at increasing yield so that enough rice could be produced in the country for its own consumption, the red rice variant was found to be suitable for diabetics. The agronomic features of UKMRC9 being of intermediate plant height, intermediate growth duration of 118 days, have the desired phenotypic appearance with a high grain yield of 5.5 tonnes per ha, blast disease resistance and slender grain. Its biochemical properties include amylose content of 19-20 per cent, high ferric reducing ability of plasma and high total phenolic content making it a rich source of antioxidants (78mg/100g).

There is an old Chinese saying, “a wise housewife can’t cook without rice”, reflecting the importance of rice in Asian lifestyles. With the rapid growth of the Asian population, demand for rice increases in tandem, estimated to exceed 80kg per capita annually. As for Malaysians, we consume approximately 1.8 million tonnes of rice annually in versatile ways of eating. While you are taking rice every day, have you ever thought of what rice does to your body, the environment and economy? What can rice do to you? Epidemiologic research on Asian populations reveals greater white rice intake was associated with significantly higher odds of developing metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. While looking for a better rice type, you may have come across low Glycaemic Index (GI) label. GI is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. In the scale of 0 to 100, lower GI carbohydrate means it only induces smaller fluctuations of glucose in your bloodstream and insulin levels, in turn reducing risk of type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. Do you ever feel sleepy after a heavy white rice meal? The high GI carbohydrate content in white rice releases high level of glucose rapidly into the bloodstream, which significantly increases the presence of tryptophan, an amino acid which is converted to serotonin leading to melatonin that induces sleepiness.

The Primera Red Rice has only the husk removed while maintaining the bran and germ, which stores abundant nutrients, such as proteins, natural fibre, plant-based fat, vitamins, and minerals. Besides, bran and germ are rich in antioxidants that known to decrease atherosclerotic plaque formation, lowering risk of cardiovascular diseases. The red rice contains energy that fuel any type of lifestyle without causing blood sugar surge. It also contains 1½ – 5.7 times more vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, and 1.8 – 5.7 times more minerals relative to white rice. The high folate level (2½ times) suggests that Primera Red Rice is preferable for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and growing kids. Research reveals that Primera Red Rice has the lowest GI score at 46, as compared to Basmati, Thai red rice and Jasmine white rice at 50, 55 and 77, respectively. Its rich fibre (2.7 times) and protein (1.1 times) were observed to be partly mediating lower, after meal glycaemic and insulin responses. Primera Red Rice was identified as high yielding rice (15% higher than popular white rice) with natural resistance to blast disease. Thus, making Primera Red Rice a farmer’s choice for better returns in a well- managed small area of cultivation with reduced use of pesticides.
