This study was carried out to determine the contents of antioxidant activity of colored rice lines which derived from a mutant of MGI079 induced by MGI079 tissue culture in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The antioxidant activities were evaluated by assaying polyphenol, flavonoid, DPPH free radical and color values of colored rice lines, respectively. Among 8 lines including Heugnam of colored rice, the 70% ethanol extracts decreased in the order of MGI079-2-1>MGI079-2-6>MGI079-2-R,Heugnam>MGI079-1-R>MGI079-2-1>MGI079, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-1-6. The rice lines of highest polyphenolic compound was MGI079-2-6 and the next were Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-2-1, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079, MGI079-OP-R with the order of higher content. The flavonoid was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079, MGI079-1-1. The DPPH free radical was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079. For chromaticity, a negative correlation was exhibited between the color value and the 70% ethanol extracts, polyphenolic compound, flavonoid, DPPH free radical. The grain characters in brown rice of a mutant of MGI079 showed similar to that of a donor plant, MGI079. Whereas, chemical characteristics of brown rice in two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) were lower in amylose and lipid contents and were higher four times in zinc that of a donor plant, MGI079. Two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) showed relatively high antioxidative activity in every results of antioxidant activity tests.
