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.

Can different extraction solvents increase bioactive compounds in Thai rice?

Up to date, there has been no information available in the literature on the use of different extraction solvents to increase the contents of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities from Thai rice by-products.

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.

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 nowadays, but recently, the preferred industrial technique for commercial uses is extraction using non-polar solvents, such as hexane [ 6 ].
