The locally available rice bran samples in Manipur were analysed for proximate principles, protein solubility fractions and amino acids. The bran contained 16.15% crude protein, 17.55% ether extract and 1.98% phosphorus on dry matter basis and amino acid composition of the protein fraction was 21.17, 8.98, 10.46, 6.54, 2.29 and 0.81 per cent for glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, lysine, methionine and tryptophane respectively. Albumin and globulin were found to be the major protein fractions.
