Brown rice was soaked in different concentrations of zinc gluconate solution for germinating.Effect of zinc treatment on germination rate of brown rice and zinc content was studied. The results showed that when the zinc concentration was 50 mg/L, temperature was 28 ℃ and brown rice soaked for 24 hours,brown rice germination rate was 87% and shoot was 0.5~1mm long. Zinc content of germinated brown rice was 12 times of polished rice and 8 times of brown rice. Also, contents of soluble protein, reducing sugar, fat and zinc were increased in zinc-rich germinated brown rice compared with polished rice and brown rice.
