  • 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.
  • Can rice bran be treated with enzymes?
  • Treating rice bran with enzymes is a new oil processing technology. The cell tissue of rice bran is hydrolyzed with protease and then oil is released to achieve the purpose of oil extraction (Hanmoungjai et al. 2001).
  • What technologies are used in rice bran oil extraction?
  • New combined technologies have emerged to improve the efficiency and quality of rice bran oil. These include enzyme-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted water extraction, supercritical and subcritical CO 2 extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and subcritical fluid technology. All these have broad application prospects . 5.1.1.
  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Table 3. New rice bran oil extraction technology. Mechanical pressing is a conventional extraction technique that does not involve heat treatment or any organic solvent and is less expensive than solvent extraction.
  • Does delayed stabilization affect the quality of rice bran oil?
  • Research has found that a delayed stabilization treatment of rice bran seriously affects the overall quality of rice bran oil. Compared with traditional solvent extraction, the new extraction technologies have improved the yield and nutritional value of rice bran oil, but most of them are still in the research stage.
  • Is rice bran oil a nutrient-rich vegetable oil?
  • Rice bran oil is a nutrient-rich vegetable oil. The fatty acid composition, ¦Ã-glutamate, vitamin E, plant sterols, and phenolic compounds are conducive to human absorption, with a rate exceeding 90%. The primary nutritional components are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Main nutrients of rice bran oil.
