  • How is rice bran oil refined?
  • After the extraction, the crude rice bran oil is often refined in order to improve its quality and commercial value. The fundamental steps of the refining process include dewaxing, degumming, neutralization of the free fatty acids, bleaching, and steam deodorization.
  • Is rice bran chemically refined?
  • In industrial practice, rice bran is still mostly chemically refined. Earlier attempts to apply physical refining failed because it was not possible to produce a refined oil with a sufficiently light color.
  • 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 is rice bran oil (RBO)?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is considered to be a superior quality oil as it has a balanced fatty acid profile, and it contains a number of minor components with proven nutritional benefits such as ¦Ã-oryzanol, tocotrienol, tocopherol, and squalene (Houston, 1972).
  • 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.
  • How is -oryzanol extracted from rice bran oil?
  • 3.2. Chemical and physical refining of rice bran oil ¦Ã-Oryzanol and most other phytochemicals are largely lipophilic, and thus are extracted with the RBO; however, differently from tocols, ¦Ã-oryzanol is transferred to soapstock during the neutralisation step of chemical refining of RBO ( Narayan, Barhate, & Raghavarao, 2006 ).
