• How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) is obtained through extraction of rice bran which is a by-product of the rice milling industries. There are several techniques used for the extraction of the RBO, but solvent extraction using hexane is the most popular used conventional method for commercial extraction.
  • Can -oryzanol be extracted from rice bran oil?
  • All the here reported green extraction techniques allow a high-quality rice bran oil and high concentrations of ¦Ã-oryzanol to be obtained and show comparable yields with the extraction methods that employ hexane.
  • What are the by-products of refining rice bran oil?
  • The refining processes of rice bran oil products generate various types of by-products, including gum, rice acid oil, and rice wax. The refining processes are the main factor causing the loss of nutraceuticals into the by-products, especially the loss of PC into rice bran wax and the loss of phytosterol into rice acid oil.
  • Does rice bran oil contain -oryzanol and policosanol?
  • The current study aims to compare the nutraceutical composition with respect to ¦Ã-oryzanol, phytosterol, and policosanol content as well as the antioxidant properties of crude rice bran oils extracted from white and red rice bran using three green technologies, comparing with conventional hexane extraction.
  • Is rice bran oil a nutraceutical?
  • Crude rice bran oils from different rice cultivars and extraction methods bear different contents of nutraceuticals. The health benefits of lowering cholesterol activity of rice bran oil being confirmed by many reports are partly attributed to non-nutrient nutraceuticals, especially ¦Ã-oryzanol, phytosterols, and policosanols.
