  • What is rice bran oil (RBO)?
  • This lipidic fraction can be extracted to obtain rice bran oil (RBO), a high value-added product with unique health properties as a result of its high concentration in ¦Ã-oryzanol, a powerful antioxidant mixture of bioactive molecules.
  • What are the by-products of rice milling?
  • The by-products generated through various milling steps are husk, bran, germs, and broken rice, and they are usually discarded or used for animal feeds. Bran is the most attractive of these by-products, because even though it represents only 9% of the rice weight, it contains around 65% of the nutrients of the whole rice grain [4, 5].
  • What is rice bran used for?
  • This by-product represents around 9% of all milled rice, and it is full of nutritional and bioactive compounds, but despite these positive proprieties, it is usually wasted or used for animal feeds. Rice bran is particularly rich in oil, which is generally extracted by means of mechanical pressing or organic solvent extraction.
  • Can -oryzanol be extracted from rice bran oil?
  • All the here reported green extraction techniques allow a high-quality rice bran oil and high concentrations of ¦Ã-oryzanol to be obtained and show comparable yields with the extraction methods that employ hexane.
  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran contains up to 25% of rice bran oil (RBO), depending on the rice variety, milling process, and stabilization system. RBO is produced and consumed in great quantities in Asian countries, such as India, Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia.
  • How is RBO extracted from rice bran?
  • The Japanese were the first to extract RBO from rice bran using the hydraulic press technique, which is still used nowadays, but recently, the preferred industrial technique for commercial uses is extraction using non-polar solvents, such as hexane .
