  • Can aqueous extraction of rice bran oil be performed without ultrasound pretreatment?
  • The ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction of rice bran oil In this work, aqueous extraction of rice bran oil was done without and with ultrasound pretreatment. Key factors controlling the extraction and optimal operating conditions were identified.
  • Does Ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction yield rice bran oil compared to hexane soxhlet extraction?
  • Moreover, extraction yields were compared to ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction and Soxhlet extraction. The results showed that the yield of rice bran oil at ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction was close to the yield of oil extracted by hexane Soxhlet extraction.
  • Does ultrasound influence the yield of rice bran oil?
  • This result implied that the yield of rice bran oil was significantly influenced by ultrasound. With regard to quality, the oil extracted by ultrasound-assisted aqueous process had a lower content of free fatty acid and lower color imparting components than the hexane-extracted oil.
  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Rice bran oil is usually extracted by organic solvents, which are toxic for health and the environment. In this work, rice bran oil was extracted through isopropanol extraction, and the best-operating temperature and bran to solvent ratio have been identified.
  • Can rice bran oil be extracted through isopropanol extraction?
  • In this work, rice bran oil was extracted through isopropanol extraction, and the best-operating temperature and bran to solvent ratio have been identified. After that, an ultrasound-assisted extraction was conducted at room temperature and with the same rice bran to solvent ratio of the isopropanol extraction.
  • Is rice bran a food waste?
  • Rice bran is a food waste widely produced all over the world. Rice bran can be valorized through green extraction techniques to produce oil. Ultrasound-assisted extraction reduces the rice bran oil extraction time. The ultrasounds permit to lower the environmental impacts of the oil extraction.
