  • 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.‌
  • 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).‌
  • 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.‌
  • 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.‌
  • Does rice bran have lipase enzyme decomposition?
  • Pourali et al. (2009) reported a complete lipase enzyme decomposition and a maximum RBO yield of 249 mg/g (94% of the total oil from rice bran), which is comparable with the quantity obtained by means of hexane extraction.
