Fifteen varieties of Oryza sativa mainly includig those of Korean native rice were exactly cutted into three layers such as L1 layer (the outer part of 90% from rice center), L2 layer(the part of 81 ~ 91% from the rice center) and L3 layer(the inner part of 80% from the rice center) and ferulic acid derivatives, which play an important role of antioxidative action, were quantitiavely analyzed by UV absorption spectrometric method at fixed 314nm. From this experiment, it was found that the more it enters from the surface into the rice center, the more those secondary metabolites contents were highly reduced. The varieties showing contents more than 20 mg/g were as follows: Hwasunchalbyeo(25.8mg/g), Jojeongdo(24.1mg/g), Suwon425(21.2mg/g), Daigolbyeo(20.6mg/g) and Nonglimna 1(20.2mg/g) by this order. Estimation onthe anthocyanin contents of both Suwon 425 and Sanghehanghyeolna revealed that its total. contents were very exactly close each other. However, it was charateristically differentiated in the contents of L2 layer with respect to showing a considerably higher content of Suwon 425 than of Sanghaehanghyeolna. Conclusively, the selected Suwon 425 variety, which is coloured and flavour volatile one, showed relatively higher contents of anthocyanin, ferulic acid derivatives in the L2 layer as well as L1 layer when compared with Sanghaehangyeolna and even other varieties. This fact suggested that Suwon 425 could be a promising candidate for the development of health rice food.
