Inulin was added in GM + IN and GM + BRE + IN as much as 0.5 g/100 mlTotal phenolic contentsKefir can be used to treat diabetics as it acts as an antidiabetic agent[85]
Imphal, Manipur, IndiaChicken nuggetsRice flour + other ingredients1, 3, and 5%AntioxidantsThe higher the nutritional value, the greater the textural properties of the final product and the better antioxidant activity[86]

Chiang Mai Province, ThailandMayonnaiseFish oil: black glutinous rice flour: soybean oil: vinegar: egg yolk: salt: potassium sorbate: mustardOil mixture (3 : 1 weight ratio of soybean oil to fish oil), 9.5 g, 8.9 g, 1.3 g, 1.0 g, and 0.7 gTocopherols, carotenoids, and antioxidantsThe synergistic impact of all antioxidants can improve the oxidative stability of mayonnaise[87]

Shaanxi Taiji Huaqing Technology, ChinaBreadBlack rice extract powder: bread flour0%, 1%, 2%, and 4%AnthocyaninThe experimental product may be an alternative to making active bread with the lower digestive rate and additional health benefits[88]

Taichung, Central TaiwanChiffon cakeBlack rice and wheat flour0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% (w/w)Total phenols, total anthocyanins, and antioxidant propertyBlack rice significantly enhanced the bioactive components in the experimental product than the control. Therefore, it can be incorporated into bakery products with more bioactive components and more effective antioxidant activity[50]

Zlín, Czech RepublicMuesli mixtureKamut, einkorn, red and black quinoa, or rice flakes together with hibiscus, mallow, rose60–70% of nontraditional flakes and 30–40% of lyophilized fruits and edible flowersAnthocyanins, cyanidin-3-glucoside, delphinidin-3-glucoside, quercetin, epigallocatechin, flavonoids, sinapic and protocatechuic acidsNontraditional muesli blends can be a valuable source of nutrients and biological components[91]
Guilin, Guangxi Province, ChinaPorridgeWaxy and non-waxy black rice40 gTotal phenolic content, total flavonoid content, condensed tannin content, monomeric anthocyanin content, cyanidin-3-glucoside, and peonidin-3-glucosideHeat treatment in black rice porridge has significantly reduced these biological compounds. It can retain a lot of antioxidants (such as phenolics) and maintain the stability of the functional substances. Therefore, rice porridge in the form of cooking black rice can have more health-promoting effects[58]
