  • Can rice bran oil be used to produce biodiesel in Indonesia?
  • With the embargo of Indonesia palm oil by European Union and more portion of palm oil is converted into biodiesel, rice bran oil would have opportunity to supply the country to meet the demand for edible oil. Rice bran oil offers a number of advantages compared to other edible oils in terms high antioxidant contents and high smoke point.
  • Where is rice bran oil used?
  • It is used most predominately in Japan and India, and to a certain extent in other parts of Southeast Asia, such as Thailand and Indonesia. The majority of rice bran oil produced in much of the world is only suitable for nonedible applications.
  • Can rice bran be used as a raw material for vegetable oil?
  • However, the use of rice bran as a raw material for vegetable oil is almost unknown in Indonesia. This is because the government and the community rely more on palm oil as raw material for producing vegetable oil. There are two problems Indonesia will face if it wants to develop vegetable oil production from rice bran.
  • What is rice bran used for?
  • Rice bran is a brown layer present between rice and the outer husk of the paddy. It represents about 5–10% of the paddy depending on the variety of paddy. At present, it is mostly used as livestock feed. The production of rice bran in Indonesia is shown in Table 1. Moreover, rice bran oil is an important derivative of rice bran.
  • Does in situ esterification affect biodiesel production from Indonesian rice bran?
  • Conclusions Biodiesel production from Indonesian rice bran by in situ esterification was carried out in this work with the objective of studying the effect of methanol to rice bran ratio, sulfuric acid concentration in methanol, and reaction time on the purity and recovery of FAMEs.
  • Can in situ esterification be performed on rice bran?
  • Our results suggest that under the following operation conditions: methanol to rice bran ratio of 5 mL/g, sulfuric acid concentration in methanol of 1.5 vol.%, and reaction time of 60 min, an in situ esterification operated on rice bran could yield FAMEs with a high purity (97%) and recovery (50%).
