The content of gamma-oryzanol and the composition of steryl ferulates were determined in brown rice of European origin using on-line coupled liquid chromatography-gas chromatography (LC-GC). Analysis of 30 brown rice samples of various cultivars, grown at different sites and in different seasons, revealed the gamma-oryzanol content to range from 26 to 63 mg/100 g. Cycloartenyl ferulate and 24-methylene-cycloartanyl ferulate were the major components of gamma-oryzanol followed by campesteryl ferulate, campestanyl ferulate, and beta-sitosteryl ferulate. The proportions of individual steryl ferulates exhibited enormous variability. However, irrespectively of the great variations observed for single steryl ferulates, the proportions of the sum of 4,4'-dimethylsteryl ferulates (cycloartenyl ferulate, 24-methylene-cycloartanyl ferulate) and the sum of 4-desmethylsteryl ferulates (campesteryl ferulate, campestanyl ferulate, and beta-sitosteryl ferulate) were rather constant. The significant natural variability observed for gamma-oryzanol content and composition of steryl ferulates were shown to be influenced by environmental conditions but not by the degree of maturity of rice grains.
