• What are the technologies of rice bran oil?
  • After that, the fatty acid composition, bioactive compounds, and the processing technologies of rice bran oil are described and the refining technology of rice bran oil (degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc.) as well as the technologies to remaining the bioactive compounds in rice bran oil are introduced.
  • How is rice bran oil processed?
  • The crude rice bran oil must go through a series of refining processes before it can meet the requirements of the standard of edible oil; those refining processes include degumming, decolorizing, and deodorizing (Haraldsson 1983), these processing are briefly described as follows.
  • Where is the ERC Mostorod refinery located?
  • The ERC Mostorod refinery is intended for the import substitution of petroleum products in Egypt. The refinery is located northeast of Cairo in Mostorod, in the Qalyubia Governorate of Egypt. It is situated 330,000m 2 site adjacent to the pre-existing EGPC-owned Cairo oil refinery.
  • How to refine rice bran oil?
  • In industrial production, rice bran oil is mostly refined by hydration degumming, active clay decolorization, steam deacidification and deodorization, and low-temperature freezing dewaxing. The specific method is to add 2¡ë~3¡ë phosphoric acid and a proper amount of water to treat the crude rice bran oil at 90 ¡ãC for degumming.
  • What is the difference between mixed refining and re-esterification of rice bran oil?
  • The mixed refining method can improve the refining rate and obtain rice bran oil with high quality, and could also reduce the loss of solvent. The re-esterification method not only removed the free fatty acids effectively but also increased the content of glycerol in rice bran oil significantly.
  • What is deacidification of rice bran oil?
  • Deacidification is the process of removing free fatty acids from crude rice bran oil. The deacidification methods of rice bran oil include alkali refining, distillation, mixing, re-esterification, and extraction. The alkali refining method has comprehensive effects such as deacidification and decolorization, but the refining loss is much higher.
