rice bran oil processing, technology information on CD ROM

rice bran oil processing, technology information on CD ROM: "Edible grade rice bran , defatted rice bran and their fractions have great potential of being used in various foods to upgrade their nutritional and health promoting potential
Rice bran obtained by the two stage milling of raw rice has nearly 18 to 20 per cent oil. However, a higher level of oil is present in bran obtained from parboiled paddy which does not require any stabilisation.
Oil can be obtained from rice bran by the traditional method of processing (pressing), but the yield would be low.
The modern methods of solvent extraction of bran can, however, recover all the oil present in the bran. The crude oil obtained from solvent extraction has to be further purified by degumming, dewaxing, deoderisation and decolouration to obtain edible grade rice bran oil."
