  • Does rice bran need solvent extraction?
  • As with other oleaginous materials with low oil content, rice bran is best subjected to solvent extraction to obtain a high oil yield. Given our 80+ years of experience in the edible oils industry, we at Kumar also recommend using solvent extraction with hexane for your rice bran oil production process.‌
  • Where does rice bran come from?
  • Bran comes from the brown outer layer or husk of the rice kernel. Obtained as a by-product of the milling process, rice bran generally has an oil content of 18 to 22%. This oil is rich in monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids.‌
  • What is rice bran oil refining process?
  • The rice bran oil refining process includes the steps of degumming, pretreatment and bleaching, dewaxing, post bleaching, deodorization and deacidification, and winterization. In each of these steps, a different piece of equipment is used and different by-products are generated.‌
  • Can hexane be used for rice bran oil production?
  • Given our 80+ years of experience in the edible oils industry, we at Kumar also recommend using solvent extraction with hexane for your rice bran oil production process. Ongoing research has resulted in the emergence of non-conventional extraction techniques for rice bran oil.‌
  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • The extracted crude oil goes to a refinery so that the impurities in it can be removed. The cake or meal is used as feedstock in the production of animal feed, biomass and other downstream value-added products. In the rice bran oil production process, we recommend carrying out solvent extraction using the Anderson Solvex™ Expander.‌
  • What is rice bran oil used for?
  • To a large extent, the applications of rice bran oil have been niche – in cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. But increasingly, the rice bran oil making process is being employed by edible oil manufacturers.
