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 ).

Can rice bran oil be used as a functional food ingredient?

This article summarizes the stabilization and extraction processes of rice bran oil from rice bran using different techniques (including solvent extraction, microwaving, ohmic heating, supercritical fluid extraction, and ultrasonication) and suggestions are provided for future applications of RBO as a functional food ingredient.

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.

What is enzyme assisted extraction of rice bran oil?

Table 3. Enzyme assisted extraction of rice bran oil and their corresponding yields. The advantages of enzyme assisted extraction technique compared to conventional solvent extraction methods includes reduced time of extraction, minimized solvent usage and increased yield and quality of product.
