There are about 15¨C20% crude oil in rice bran; normally, the rice bran oil is extracted by pressing or solvent extraction methods, such as supercritical carbon dioxide extraction and enzymatic extraction, and then refined by decolorization, deodorization, or other processes.
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.
Which solvent is used for rice bran oil extraction?
The extraction yield was higher when using ethyl acetate as the solvent. Rice bran (RB) oil extraction was performed by applying renewable solvents like ethanol and ethyl acetate. To assess the interaction of these solvents with the oil, the UNIFAC model was chosen to determine the infinite dilution activity coefficient.
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.
