For rice bran oil production, there must rely on rice bran oil processing machine. Generally, rice bran oil machine serves for rice bran pretreatment, rice bran oil pressing or extraction, rice bran oil refinery. To produce high qualilty rice bran oil, a series of rice bran oil production process should be involved.
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.
What is rice bran?
Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling industry obtained from milling of brown rice to produce white rice. It contains 15%?20% of oil. Apart from oil, rice bran is a promising source for proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, tocopherol, γ-oryzanol, and phospholipids ( Tao, 1989; Houston, 1972; Saunders, 1986 ).
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.
