  • What is the process to refine rice bran oil?
  • To refine rice bran oil, the following steps are taken: hydration degumming, active clay decolorization, steam deacidification and deodorization, and low-temperature freezing dewaxing. Specifically, degumming involves adding 2¡ë~3¡ë phosphoric acid and a proper amount of water to treat the crude oil at 90 °C.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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).
