  • What is deacidification of rice bran oil?
  • Deacidification is the process of removing free fatty acids from crude rice bran oil. This process can be achieved through various methods such as alkali refining, distillation, mixing, re-esterification, and extraction. Among these, alkali refining has comprehensive effects like deacidification and decolorization, but it results in higher refining loss.
  • What is the first step in refining rice bran oil?
  • In industrial production, rice bran oil is mostly refined by hydration degumming, active clay decolorization, steam deacidification and deodorization, and low-temperature freezing dewaxing. The specific method is to add 2¡ë~3¡ë phosphoric acid and a proper amount of water to treat the crude rice bran oil at 90 °C for degumming.
  • What is rice bran?
  • Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling industry obtained from milling of brown rice to produce white rice. It contains 15%¨C20% of oil. Apart from oil, rice bran is a promising source for proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, tocopherol, ¦Ã-oryzanol, and phospholipids (Tao, 1989; Houston, 1972; Saunders, 1986).
  • What are the technologies of rice bran oil?
  • The processing technologies of rice bran oil include degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc.. These technologies help refine the oil and maintain its bioactive compounds.
  • How is rice bran oil processed?
  • Rice bran oil undergoes several refining processes to meet the standards of edible oil. These processes include degumming, decolorizing, and deodorizing. Briefly, degumming removes gums and phospholipids, decolorizing removes color pigments, and deodorizing removes unwanted odors and flavors.
  • Can you use rice bran for food?
  • A major problem of using RBO for food purposes is the time lag between bran production and oil extraction. Oil should be extracted immediately as soon as the bran is produced. Otherwise, oil will be hydrolyzed into free fatty acids (FFAs) and glycerol by the action of very active lipase enzymes present in rice bran.
