It is used in paper coatings, textiles, explosives, fruit and vegetable coatings, confectionery, pharmaceuticals, candles, moulded novelties, electric insulation, textile and leather sizing, waterproofing, carbon paper, typewriter ribbons, printing inks ...
3-5. Rice bran oil is the oil extracted from the hard outer brown layer of rice called bran. It is known for its high smoke point of 232 °C (450 °F) and mild flavor, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods such as stir frying and deep frying. It is popular as a cooking oil in East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast ...
Phytoestrogen. A phytoestrogen is a plant-derived xenoestrogen (a type of estrogen produced by organisms other than humans) not generated within the endocrine system, but consumed by eating plants or manufactured foods. [1] Also called a "dietary estrogen", it is a diverse group of naturally occurring nonsteroidal plant compounds that, because ...
γ-Oryzanol is a mixture of lipids derived from rice (Oryza sativa). [1] γ-Oryzanol occurs mainly in the fat fraction of rice bran and rice bran oil.Originally thought to be a single chemical compound, [2] it is now known to be a mixture of ferulic acid esters of phytosterols and triterpenoids, particularly cycloartenyl ferulate, 24-methylenecycloartanyl ferulate, and campesteryl ferulate, [3 ...
Bran, also known as miller's bran, is the component of a cereal grain consisting of the hard layers - the combined aleurone and pericarp - surrounding the endosperm. Corn (maize) bran also includes the pedicel (tip cap). [ 1 ] Along with the germ, it is an integral part of whole grains, and is often produced as a byproduct of milling in the ...
Rice bran solubles are a nutritional product derived from the bran shavings produced as brown rice is converted into white rice. The shavings are usually discarded or used for animal feed. [1] In Japan, they are used in some traditional pickling recipes. [2] To produce rice bran solubles, the bran shavings are heat treated to prolong shelf-life ...
Vegetable oils, or vegetable fats, are oils extracted from seeds or from other parts of edible plants. Like animal fats, vegetable fats are mixtures of triglycerides. [1] Soybean oil, grape seed oil, and cocoa butter are examples of seed oils, or fats from seeds. Olive oil, palm oil, and rice bran oil are examples of fats from other parts of ...
The germ of a cereal grain is the part that develops into a plant; [ 1 ] it is the seed embryo. [ 2 ] Along with bran, germ is often a by-product of the milling [ 3 ] that produces refined grain products. Cereal grains and their components, such as wheat germ oil, [ 4 ] rice bran oil, and maize bran, [ 5 ] may be used as a source from which ...
