  • Is rice bran oil a seed derived oil?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is not a seed-derived oil. Therefore, the crude oil obtained by conventional solvent extraction using hexane has a number of impurities that are required to be removed before human consumption. Unlike other oils, the bran contains a lipase enzyme that converts the neutral oil to free fatty acids (FFAs) and partial glycerides.
  • What is rice bran?
  • Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling industry obtained from milling of brown rice to produce white rice. It contains 15%–20% of oil. Apart from oil, rice bran is a promising source for proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, tocopherol, γ-oryzanol, and phospholipids (Tao, 1989; Houston, 1972; Saunders, 1986).
  • What is rice bran oil (RBO)?
  • 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 γ-oryzanol, tocotrienol, tocopherol, and squalene (Houston, 1972).
  • What is rice bran (RB)?
  • Rice bran (RB), the outer brown layer of rice, is one of the main by-products during milling. It is a rice source of rice-bran oil (RBO) with good fatty acid profile and phytonutrients like oryzanols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols, and importantly dietary fibers.
