  • What is rice bran?
  • Rice bran is obtained from outer layer of the brown (husked) rice kernel during milling. It has emerged as potential by-product from rice processing industry due to the increasing demand for rice bran oil (RBO) as healthy functional food ingredients.
  • Should rice bran be stabilized after production?
  • It is advised to stabilize rice bran or RBO immediately upon production. High FFA results in high refining loss, therefore, it is beneficial to have FFA level of less than 5% in the crude RBO, and exceeding amount of FFA (> 10%) is unfit for human consumption (Orthoefer and Eastman, 2005).
  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is unique among edible vegetable oils because of its unique fatty acid composition, phenolic compound (γ-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.
  • How to stabilize rice bran fractions in microwave?
  • Lavanya et al. (2019) stabilized rice bran fractions by microwave heating continuously at 850, 925 and 1 000 W and 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 min. They concluded that microwave heating at 925 W for 3.0 min is the suitable condition for RBO extraction and stabilization.
  • Does rice bran contain phytic acid?
  • One of other important component present in rice bran is phytic acid (59.4 to 60.9 g/kg) (Liu et al., 2005, Canan et al., 2011, Kumar et al., 2020).
  • Which phenolic acid is found in rice bran?
  • Ferulic acid is the major phenolic acid, followed by p- hydroxycinnamic acid, sinapinic, gallic, protocatechuic, p -hydroxybenzoic and vanillic acid in rice bran (Goufo and Trinade, 2014). RBO contains a range of fatty acids, with 47% monounsaturated, 33% polyunsaturated and 20% saturated.
