질병의 예방, 노화억제, 돌연변이 억제 등 다양한 생리활성을 나타내는 안토시아닌 색소 C3G가 다량 함유되어 있는 흑자색 유색미의 성분연구를 수행한 결과 9가지의 천연화합물을 분리하였으며, 그 중 항산화 기능이 매우 뛰어난 페놀성 화합물 oryzafuran을 최초로 분리 그 구조를 확인하였다. 또한 allantoin과 같은 알칼로이드도 쌀에서는 처음으로 분리하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 흑자색 유색미는 식용이상의 역할을 수행할 것으로 판단된다. 아울러 이러한 성분의 정량분석 방법과 합성과 관련된 메커니즘, 성분의 약리적 기능, 유전자원 평가 등 산업화를 위한 체계적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이며, 더 나아가 고C3G, 저단백, 저알레그렌, 고불포화지방산 등과 같은 다기능성 유색미 품종을 육성 보급함으로써 국민보건 및 농가소득에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다. 특히 이와 같은 성분이 주로 분포하는 미강은 도정과정을 통해 대부분 제거되기 때문에 회수하기가 용이하고, 따라서 부산물로 발생하는 흰쌀을 식품가공분야에서 이용할 수 있어 산업적으로 가치가 매우 높다고 판단된다.

Anthocyanin in blackish purple rice is composed of cyanidin, peonidin, malvidin, pelargonidin and delphinidin flavylium ion and their glucosides, which shows antioxidant activity similar to a-tocoperol. It has been demonstrated that cyanidin-3-glucoside(C3G) of anthocyanin has a high-potency antioxidant activity, and is a prominent in anticancer and antithrombotic activity. In analysis of content of anthocyanin from the genetic source of blackish purple rice, the level of C3G was approximately 80% of total contents of anthocyanins, and showed the highest content in Heugjinjubyeo, of which contains an amount of 500 mg by weight of 100g brown rice in comparison that most of varieties has less than 50mg by weight of 100g brown rice. We found that C3G pigment in blackish purple rice was considerably affected by cultural season, cultivation area, ripening temperature, and weather condition, etc. as well as genetic properties. In cross combination between Heugjinjubyeo and Suwon425, intermediate parent $F_9$ generation which was three times higher or more in C3G content than that of Heugjinjubyeo was bred, of which it contained an amount of 1678 mg by weight of 100g brown rice, and we called it 'C3GHi' Rice. And, we found that the C3GHi rice was more excellent than that of the existing Heugjinjubyeo in anticancer and antithrombotic activity. Methanol extract from Heugjinjubyeo was fractionated by organic solvents in order of n-hexane, $CH_{2}Cl_2$ and n-BuOH, and then oryzafuran, quercetin, vanillic acid and protocatechuic acid and their structures from the n-BuOH fraction were ascertained. Oryzafuran of these compounds was a natural compound found firstly in nature. Quercetin and protocatechuic acid besides new compound oryzafuran showed excellent antioxidant ability to vitamin C. These results suggest that blackish purple rice has very high value as a source of various functional food as well as staple food.
