  • How is rice bran oil extracted?
  • Rice bran oil (RBO) can be extracted chemically using solvent or mechanically by hydrolytic pressing. Solvent extraction covers a wide range of techniques, including traditional solvent extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and enzyme assisted extraction (Fraterrigo Garofalo et al., 2021a ).
  • How to improve the extraction ratio of rice bran oil?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. 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.
  • Is rice bran oil a solventless extraction method?
  • This review has highlighted that despite the efficiency in the extraction of rice bran oil, some solvents are toxic. The future direction should therefore focus on green extraction methods in order to address the need for environmental sustainability. The solventless methods or the methods that use water as a solvent are therefore encouraged.
  • Can rice bran oil be extracted from a pilot plant?
  • The pilot-plant extraction of rice bran oil was assessed. The solvent-extraction and associated processes were simulated. Results and field data are shown to be in good agreement. Energy optimization was performed using pinch technology and gas membrane technology. Nearly 50% of energy can be saved in comparison with the original process.
