Refining of Rice Bran Oil
Preserving Nutrition with Advanced Physical Refining
Rice bran oil is one of the healthiest edible oils, rich in natural Oryzanol – a powerful antioxidant with cholesterol-lowering properties. At Agro Processing Oil Tech, we specialize in physical refining, the preferred method for retaining Oryzanol and maintaining superior oil quality. Unlike chemical refining, physical refining avoids alkali treatment, prevents nutrient loss, and produces premium, high-stability oil.
Key Stages in Rice Bran Oil Refining
The key stages in rice bran oil refining involve degumming, physical neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, and polishing—ensuring maximum yield, nutrient retention, and excellent oil clarity.
Degumming
Removes gums, free fatty acids, and pigments to prevent emulsification, darkening, and off-flavors effectively.
Acid Degumming
Uses acid to precipitate phospholipids, enabling easy removal and improving refining efficiency significantly.
Enzymatic Degumming
Employs enzymes to hydrolyze non-hydratable phospholipids, boosting oil yield and maintaining superior clarity.
Physical Neutralization
Uses steam distillation under vacuum to remove free fatty acids while preserving Oryzanol content.
Bleaching
Activated earth or carbon removes color pigments, trace metals, and oxidation products for better oil clarity.
Deodorization
High-temperature steam strips volatile compounds and odors, resulting in a neutral-smelling, premium-quality oil.
Final Filtration
Removes fine impurities and particles, delivering crystal-clear, stable, and food-grade refined rice bran oil.
Polishing
Improves oil brightness, ensures extended shelf life, and enhances market-ready appearance and consumer appeal.
