Then, anti-inflammatory activity of Hawm Nil rice kefir was studied. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; The physiochemical properties, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities of these rice milk kefirs were investigated. Anti-inflammatory measurements were performed to study blood chemistry, hematological values and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) level in colitis rats compared with rats treated with prednisolone (positive control) and cow&amp;rsquo;s milk kefir. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All the rice kefir formulas had lower pH values than the cow&amp;rsquo;s milk kefir. Moreover, they all exhibited no changing viscosity. Lactic acid concentrations increased in cow&amp;rsquo;s milk kefir during 24-48 h. Alcohol concentrations in all the rice formulas increased within 24-48 h, while cow&amp;rsquo;s milk only increased at 72 h. Antioxidant activity, most of the rice milk kefirs had antioxidant activity higher than cow&amp;rsquo;s milk by DPPH assay. In addition, the Hawm Nil rice milk kefir had high antioxidant activity by DPPH assay and FRAP assay. Blood chemistry, hematological values and tumor necrosis factor-&amp;alpha; (TNF-&amp;alpha;) levels in colitis rats treated with Hawm Nil rice milk kefir did not differ from those treated with prednisolone and cow&amp;rsquo;s milk kefir. TNF-&amp;alpha; in the serum of colitis rats treated with Hawm Nil rice milk kefir was significantly reduced when compared to the PBS buffer. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The findings indicated that color rice kefirs may offer protection against chemically induced tissue injury. Hawm Nil rice milk kefir exerted potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and was safe for human consumption. Other Thai colored rice will be used to develop Thai rice milk kefir products as new and antioxidant-rich beverages and functional foods for human health benefits in the future.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">154</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sirirat Deeseenthum*, Vijitra Luang-In, Supaporn Chunchom &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
