The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of heat treatment on the phenolics and antioxidant activity of rice hull. Heat treatment was performed at temperatures 80∼140°C for 1∼5 h, and the heated rice hull was extracted with 80% (v/v) methanol in an ultrasonic bath. The highest total polyphenol and flavonoid content (10.68 mg gallic acid equivalents/g and 1.83 mg catechin equivalents/g, respectively) occurred in rice hull heated at 130°C for 5 h. During heat treatment, the content of free phenolic acids increased compared with that of the bound phenolic acids. The highest 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity and reducing power was observed in rice hull heated at 140°C for 3 h. The highest OH radical scavenging activity was 75.30% in rice hull heated at 140°C for 5 h. These results suggested that heat treatment was an efficient method to enhance the antioxidant characteristics of rice hull.
