FAQ

  • What are the steps in a rice bran oil refining process?
  • The steps in the process of refining rice bran oil are given in Fig. 14.1. The first step in the refining process with crude rice bran oil is usually dewaxing or winterizing. However, for other vegetable oils, the dewaxing step can be done at different times in the refining process.
  • What is rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran oil is an edible oil extracted from rice bran. Its fatty acid profile compared to other vegetable oils tends to be higher in oleic acid and lower in linoleic acid, similar to peanut oil in this regard.
  • Why is rice bran crude oil difficult to refine?
  • The high acid value and dark color of rice bran crude oil make it difficult to refine rice oil. Nutrients are readily lost during the refining process. In addition, the production of trans-fatty acids, 3-chloropropanol ester, and other potentially harmful substances affects the quality and safety of rice oil products.
  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Table 3. New rice bran oil extraction technology. Mechanical pressing is a conventional extraction technique that does not involve heat treatment or any organic solvent and is less expensive than solvent extraction.
  • What is the extraction rate of rice bran oil?
  • The extraction rate of rice bran oil was close to that of Soxhlet extraction when the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology was at pH 12, the temperature was 45 °C, the stirring speed was 800 r/min, the stirring time was 15 min, the ultrasonic treatment time was 70 min, and the ultrasonic treatment temperature was 25 °C .
  • What technologies are used in rice bran oil extraction?
  • New combined technologies have emerged to improve the efficiency and quality of rice bran oil. These include enzyme-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted water extraction, supercritical and subcritical CO 2 extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and subcritical fluid technology. All these have broad application prospects . 5.1.1.
