Abstract:
This study aimed to characterize the rice husk phenolic compounds from different genetic background that may contribute to valorize these by-products. The extraction techniques and LC-DAD-MS profiles will be presented and main compounds highlighted: tricin derivatives, including tricin-glycosides and tricin-lignans. The biological activities of tricin and their potential for protecting rice paddy against pathogens will be discussed.
