  • Can rice bran be treated with enzymes?
  • Treating rice bran with enzymes is a new oil processing technology. The cell tissue of rice bran is hydrolyzed with protease and then oil is released to achieve the purpose of oil extraction (Hanmoungjai et al. 2001).
  • 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.
  • What are the technologies of rice bran oil?
  • The processing technologies of rice bran oil include degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc.. These technologies help refine the oil and maintain its bioactive compounds.
  • What are the refining processes of rice bran oil?
  • The refining technology of rice bran oil includes degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc. as well as the technologies to remaining the bioactive compounds in rice bran oil.
  • What is deacidification of rice bran oil?
  • Deacidification is the process of removing free fatty acids from crude rice bran oil. This process can be achieved through various methods such as alkali refining, distillation, mixing, re-esterification, and extraction. Among these, alkali refining has comprehensive effects like deacidification and decolorization, but it results in higher refining loss.
  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Rice bran oil is extracted from rice bran, which contains about 15–20% crude oil. The extraction methods include pressing, solvent extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, and enzymatic extraction.
