  • What is rice bran?

Apart from oil, rice bran is a promising source for proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, tocopherol, ¦Ã-oryzanol, and phospholipids ( Tao, 1989; Houston, 1972; Saunders, 1986 ).
  • Why is parboiled rice bran a good choice for dewaxing?
  • It was observed that oils obtained from parboiled rice bran have much easier operation compared to raw bran. The temperature of the place also has an influence on dewaxing parameters. Another important factor is the moisture content of the oil.
  • What is rice bran oil (RBO)?
