  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is obtained through extraction of rice bran which is a by-product of the rice milling industries. There are several techniques used for the extraction of the RBO, but solvent extraction using hexane is the most popular used conventional method for commercial extraction.
  • How to improve the extraction ratio of rice bran oil?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. In order to improve the extraction ratio of rice bran oil, a single-factor experiment and response surface methodology with a central composite design were used to determine a new mixed solvent and the optimal extraction conditions of the mixed solvent.
  • Does process parameters affect rice bran oil extraction in automated solvent extractor?
  • Fresh solvent continuously percolates through the solid matrix thus increasing the rate of extraction. The present study has been carried out to evaluate the effect of process parameters for rice bran oil extraction in automated solvent extractor using hexane as the solvent.
  • What is rice bran?
  • Rice bran is a cuticle between rice husk and grain. Depending upon the variety of rice and degree of milling, it contains around 12-25 % oil which is generally extracted using solvents, commonly hexane . It is an underused co-product of rice milling . Its value is partially captured through extraction and refining of RBO.
  • Is rice bran a good alternative to oil extraction?
  • Surfactant-assisted aqueous extraction process (SAAEP) is used as an environmentally friendly alternative method for oil extraction. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most widely produced and consumed foods, and it produces bran as a by-product. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimum conditions for SAAEP from rice bran.
  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran is a valuable byproduct of rice production, which accounts for approximately 8% of the rice grain and 15–20% of the oil . Rice bran oil (RBO) is reported to have nearly all types of nutrients among vegetable oils.
