This study aimed to determine the effect and potential of red rice in conjunction with barley and rhododendron extracts to develop a new variant of beer. In this study red rice, barley, and rhododendron extracts were used in different combinations and the best combination was selected based on quality and sensory characteristics. The results showed that the developed beer was rich in antioxidant activity (47.68 ± 0.96) and contained a good amount of anthocyanin (35.12 ± 0.79), flavonoids (0.119 ± 0.002), and polyphenols (0.410 ± 0.002). The red rice has more dietary significance than that of polished or milled rice, further, the use of rhododendron provides a large number of secondary metabolites such as tannins, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids. Besides, the sensory profile of the developed beer was quite distinct in terms of aroma, taste, and color from other alternatives available in the market.

Red yeast rice (RYR) is an Asian indigenous medicine that ferments grains using the Monascus fungi, specifically . Monacolins, pigments, phenols, sterols, and benzopyrans, such as the mycotoxin citrinin, were proven to be present in RYR, contributing to its numerous effects. This study aims to provide a thorough overview of the in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activities of red yeast rice, its studies in humans, and a summary of recent case reports.

This study developed a vegan chocolate spread using spray-dried plant-based milk powders (soy, lentil, and rice), fortified with nano-liposomal vitamin D3 and an oleogel-balanced omega fatty acid to enhance nutritional quality. The plant-based milk powders exhibited high protein (up to 26.8% in soy), fiber, and micronutrients.

Red yeast rice (RYR), a commonly used supplement with statin-like properties, is generally considered safe but may cause severe adverse effects such as rhabdomyolysis. We report a rare case of severe RYR-induced rhabdomyolysis complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and respiratory failure, with diaphragmatic dysfunction as a key contributing factor. A 78-year-old woman developed progressive proximal muscle weakness, dyspnea, and tea-colored urine after taking RYR (2 g/day) for 1 month.

Background: Iron plaque on the rice rhizoplane could potentially prevent cadmium (Cd) entry into plant roots. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the morphological characteristics and mineral compositions of iron plaque, Cd immobilization mechanism by iron plaque, and its effect on Cd uptake and transport in rice.
Results: Exogenous divalent iron ion (Fe(II)) could induce the formation of deep-red iron plaque on rice rhizoplane, which primarily consisted of ferrihydrite, goethite, hematite, iron phosphate, and iron sulfate compounds.

The health hazards, including kidney damage, were reported following the ingestion of a health food product, so-called "foods with functional claims (FFC)'', containing beni-koji (red yeast rice), a product of Monascus pilosus very recently in Japan. Puberulic acid (PA) was detected as an unexpected compound in FFC products, and further investigation was required to identify additional unintended compounds and determine the route of PA contamination. To date, we have reported the possibility contamination of FFC products by Penicillium adametzioides in a manufacturing facility, and the presence of two novel unintended compounds, designated as compounds 1 and 2.
