  • 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?
  • Rice bran is obtained from outer layer of the brown (husked) rice kernel during milling. It has emerged as potential by-product from rice processing industry due to the increasing demand for rice bran oil (RBO) as healthy functional food ingredients.
  • 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 extracted?
  • Rice bran oil is extracted from rice bran, which contains about 15¨C20% crude oil. The extraction methods include pressing, solvent extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, and enzymatic extraction.
  • What is rice bran (RB)?
  • Rice bran (RB), the outer brown layer of rice, is one of the main by-products during milling. It is a rice source of rice-bran oil (RBO) with good fatty acid profile and phytonutrients like oryzanols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols, and importantly dietary fibers.
  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is unique among edible vegetable oils because of its unique fatty acid composition, phenolic compound (¦Ã-oryzanol, ferulic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherol and tocotrienol). It has become a great choice of cooking oil because of its very high burning point, neutral taste and delicate flavour.
