• How to make rice bran oil?
  • The crude rice bran oil will be degummed by enzymatic method, then deacidified and decolorized by enzymatic method. In some cases when processing dewaxed oil, de-waxing process is also included in oil refinery plant. Steam distillation is the last step of edible rice bran oil production.
  • What is rice bran oil factory?
  • Rice bran is the main by-product of rice processing mill. Per 100kg rice can produce about 5-8kg rice bran. It is also a common kind of oil-bearing material. With the development of rice processing industry and oil extraction technology, setup rice bran oil factory is becoming a HOT project with great commercial value to invest in.
  • What is steam distillation of rice bran oil?
  • Steam distillation is the last step of edible rice bran oil production. The purpose is to remove any off flavors and residual free fatty acids. In middle-large rice bran oil factory, refining plant is built to improve the quality of final oil.
  • Where is rice bran oil primarily used?
  • Rice bran oil is primarily used in Japan and India, and to a certain extent in other parts of Southeast Asia, such as Thailand and Indonesia.
  • How is crude rice bran oil refined?
  • The refining process for crude rice bran oil typically begins with dewaxing or winterizing. This step is necessary due to the fact that crude rice bran oil can contain up to 8% wax, depending on the extraction method.
  • What are the health benefits of rice bran oil?
  • Rice bran oil is unique due to its higher levels of wax (3¨C9%) and unsaponifiable components (2¨C5%). These components may contribute to the unique health benefits attributed to rice bran oil. (To be discussed later.) Table 14.1.
