Wheat and rice bran bread were prepared and evaluated. The rice bran was stabilized with heat treatment, and the amounts used were at 5% and 10%, while 100% wheat bread was used at the experiment control. Results showed that some nutritional parameters such as: ashes, fact and total dietetic fiber were improved, and there was an increase of insoluble dietetic fiber form 2.15 g/100 to 3.88 g/100. When the percentage of rice bran was increased in the bread, the farinography profile showed both a small decrease in the kneeing tolerant index and the dough stability There was a significant increase in the amilose content of bread (from 12 g/100 to 16 g /100) when it was stored at 4ºC for eight days; also, these results could shows a degradation and a possible resistant starch type III formation. This degradation was confirmed by the starch hydrolysis "in vitro". Data showed a hydrolysis decrease proportional to the increase in amilose and total dietetic fiber in bread. A testing trial carried out on 30 people panel showed that bread containing 5% rice bran obtained the highest score. In conclusion, it is feasible to diversify the use of stabilized rice bran for preparing baked bread in moulds.
