title: Chemical components of rice bran: myo-inositol and related compounds: a review.
abstract: This review first concentrates on chemical and biochemical aspects of myo-inositol derivatives, as major components of rice bran, in order to give some help for understanding the roles of the biologically important phosphates. In addition, many biologically active compounds which include inositols and inositol derivatives have also been introduced for a better understanding of cyclitol chemistry.
