Changes in Functionality of Germinated and Non-Germinated Brown Rice Fermented by <i>Bacillus natto</i>

Germinated brown rice (GBR) is brown rice (BR) that has been germinated. GBR accumulates more nutrients and has a softer texture than BR. The aim of this study was to ferment GBR and BR using <i>Bacillus natto</i> and to investigate the functionality of the fermented products compared wi...
