Rice bran is a host of diverse array of bioactive metabolites such as Tocopherols and γ-oryzanol with a potential health benefits. The substantial variation in bran composition of these biomolecules ledus to investigate variation in oil content, γ-oryzanol and α-Tocopherol content in bran of 12 diverse rice genotypes. Among the tested cultivars, the oil content, γ-oryzanol andα-Tocopherolin bran showed the high variation ranged from 13.52-21.62%, 0.82-2.92% and 132.2–520.5 µg/g, respectively. The higher content of oil was found in Safri 17 (21.62%), while Danteshwari exhibited higher mean values of γ-oryzanol and α-Tocopherol content (2.92% and 520.5 µg/g). Correlation studies revealed that the oil content was significantly negatively correlated with γ oryzanol while a γ-oryzanol and α-Tocopherol was found to be positively correlated. The variation found suggests that he characterization of favorable ratios of oil and γ oryzanol content particularly in Safri 17 and Danteshwari can be a milestone in identification of potential donor in the crop improvement programmes.
