Two of the isolated strains have over 90% survival rate to artificial gastric acid (pH 2.5, 1% pepsin) and artificial bile acid (0.3% oxgall). These strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum by 16S rRNA sequencing, and named as L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12. The known carcinogenic enzyme, β-glucuronidase was not produced by L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12. These 2 strains were found to be resistant to several antibiotics and strongly adhered to intestinal cells. Antiallergic effect of L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 was demonstrated using nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine production. L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 were capable of significantly decreasing NO production, and reduced T helper 2-associated cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, and inducible nitric oxide synthase compared to control. Yogurt samples produced using L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 did not show significant differences in microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties compared with yogurt sample produced using commercial strain. Therefore, these two strains could be used as probiotic yogurt starters with antiallergic effects.23:T4f7,Rice (Oryza sativa L.) contains generous amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and dietary fibers, in addition to secondary metabolites such as phenols and flavonoids that act as antioxidants. The phenolic compounds detected in rice (organic rice (OR), conventional rice (CR), and pesticide-free rice (PFR)), namely, protocatechuic, gentisic, p-hydroxybenzoic, p-coumaric, ferulic, salicylic, and caffeic acids, are notable free radical scavengers. The sum of these phenolic compounds was found to be higher in PFR, followed by CR and OR (p < 0.0001), when the rice types were classified based on the farming system employed. In addition, significant differences were observed in the p-hydroxybenzoic acid levels for the OR and CR groups compared with the PFR groups (p < 0.01). Furthermore, greater quantities of p-coumaric acid were found in CR-08 and OR-02, although these groups contained overall higher and lower sums of phenolic compounds, respectively. Moreover, significance was observed in the sum of the phenolic compounds, although only small quantities were found in polished rice. Further research is thus required to provide a clearer picture regarding the phenolic profiles of different rice brands.
