Bran oil may be also extracted for use by itself for industrial purposes (such as in the paint industry), or as a cooking oil, such as rice bran oil. Wheat bran is useful as feed for poultry and other livestock, as part of a balanced ration with other inputs. Wheatings, a milling byproduct comprising mostly bran with some pieces of endosperm ...
Rice bran wax, obtained from rice bran oil, is used as a substitute for carnauba wax in cosmetics, confectionery, shoe creams, and polishing compounds. Isolated γ-oryzanol from rice bran oil is available in China as an over-the-counter drug, [5] and in other countries as a dietary supplement. There is no meaningful evidence supporting its ...
The current commercial sources of tocotrienol are rice bran oil and palm oil. [4] Other natural tocotrienol sources include barley and oats. [4] Tocotrienols are safe and human studies show no adverse effects with consumption of 240 mg/day for 48 months. [16]

[10] Critics "hateful eight" oils consist of seed oils: canola, corn, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and rice bran [11] which are creations ...
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 vegetable oil is extracted, or used directly as a food ingredient.
