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.

How is RBO extracted from rice bran?
The Japanese were the first to extract RBO from rice bran using the hydraulic press technique, which is still used nowa-days, but recently, the preferred industrial technique for com-mercial uses is extraction using non-polar solvents, such as hexane .
How to improve the extraction ratio of rice bran oil?
Abstract:In order to improve the extraction ratio of rice bran oil, a single-factor experiment and response surface methodology with a central composite design were used to determine a new mixed solvent and the optimal extraction conditions of the mixed solvent.
