Abstract:
BPT 2848 is a black pericarp coloured rice variety which was registered with NBPGR as genetic stock for high protein content (10.5%) in polished rice. It is a cross between Improved Samba Mahsuri*1 and IRGC 48493. It has 125-130 days duration coupled with tolerance to bacterial blight, blast and BPH. BPT 2848 has medium slender grain which recorded intermediate amylose content and alkali spreading value hence the cooked rice will be soft and flaky. Due to its black pericarp, it exhibits high anti-oxidant activity, high total phenol content and flavonoid content which has potential health benefits. It can be utilized in making food products to utilize its rich phytochemicals content and nutraceutical properties to combat the malnutrition.
