  • 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.
  • Can organic solvent-extraction be used to produce high value rice bran oil?
  • Organic solvent-extraction is widely applied. The production of high value rice bran oil is gaining increased interest, and is the subject of the present paper. Field data from a 32 T/day pilot plant in Heilongjiang will be compared with engineering simulations.
  • Can rice bran oil be extracted from a pilot plant?
  • The pilot-plant extraction of rice bran oil was assessed. The solvent-extraction and associated processes were simulated. Results and field data are shown to be in good agreement. Energy optimization was performed using pinch technology and gas membrane technology. Nearly 50% of energy can be saved in comparison with the original process.
  • What is the difference between rice bran and other vegetable oils?
  • Unlike other oils, the bran contains a lipase enzyme that converts the neutral oil to free fatty acids (FFAs) and partial glycerides. The bran has to be either stabilized or it has to be subjected to solvent extraction immediately after rice milling. However, the crude RBO will have higher FFA contents compared to other common vegetable oils.
