  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is unique among edible vegetable oils because of its unique fatty acid composition, phenolic compound (γ-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?
  • Rice bran is obtained from outer layer of the brown (husked) rice kernel during milling. It has emerged as potential by-product from rice processing industry due to the increasing demand for rice bran oil (RBO) as healthy functional food ingredients.‌
  • Should rice bran be stabilized after production?
  • It is advised to stabilize rice bran or RBO immediately upon production. High FFA results in high refining loss, therefore, it is beneficial to have FFA level of less than 5% in the crude RBO, and exceeding amount of FFA (> 10%) is unfit for human consumption (Orthoefer and Eastman, 2005).‌
  • How to stabilize rice bran fractions in microwave?
  • Lavanya et al. (2019) stabilized rice bran fractions by microwave heating continuously at 850, 925 and 1 000 W and 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 min. They concluded that microwave heating at 925 W for 3.0 min is the suitable condition for RBO extraction and stabilization.‌
  • What is cold pressing rice bran?
  • Cold pressing uses mechanical screw press with mild heating followed by filtration to get clean RBO. Pre-treatment of rice bran with low temperature before cold pressing can produce RBO with superior quality (Srikaeo and Pradit, 2011). A combination of short cooking time and cold pressing is more effective and efficient.‌
  • Is rice bran good for You?
  • In recent years, rice bran has been explored for its potential biological functionalities, which include antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory activity, reduced incidence of cancer, prevent coronary heart diseases, and decreased cholesterol level.
