However, the use of red and black rice has not been as popular as white rice thus need to improve the utilization of these type of rice.

Sponge cake of black rice from Solok Selatan was the best product with antioxidant activity 44.94%, at a concentration 1000 ppm, total polyphenols 13.79%, and anthocyanin content 10.31 mg/l.
