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 ).
What are the technologies of rice bran oil?
After that, the fatty acid composition, bioactive compounds, and the processing technologies of rice bran oil are described and the refining technology of rice bran oil (degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc.) as well as the technologies to remaining the bioactive compounds in rice bran oil are introduced.
How is rice bran oil made in China?
Two refining processes, steam refining and miscella refining, are now the primary industrial techniques used for producing edible RBO in China. Steam refining usually produces refined RBO with a dark color, which is designated as grade-three or grade-four RBO according to the National Standard of China (GB19112 Rice Bran Oil) [ 4 ].
What is edible grade rice bran oil (RBO)?
Edible grade rice bran oil (RBO) rich in ¦Ã-oryzanol and phytosterol but without glycidyl esters (GEs) and monochloropropanediol esters (MCPDEs) was obtained from rice bran by moderate biorefining.
