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.

How is rice bran oil extracted?

Rice bran (RB) oil extraction was performed by applying renewable solvents like ethanol and ethyl acetate. To assess the interaction of these solvents with the oil, the UNIFAC model was chosen to determine the infinite dilution activity coefficient. Soxhlet extraction was utilized to determine the maximum possible yield.

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.

Can organic solvent-extraction be used to produce high value rice bran oil?

Organic solvent-extraction is widely applied. The production of high value rice bran oil is gaining increased interest, and is the subject of the present paper. Field data from a 32 T/day pilot plant in Heilongjiang will be compared with engineering simulations.
