Abstract

Rice bran is a good source of nutrients that have large amounts of phytochemicals and antioxidants. Conventional rice bran oil production requires many processes that may deteriorate and degrade these valuable substances. Supercritical CO₂ extraction is a green alternative method for producing rice bran oil. This work reviews production of rice bran oil by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction. In addition, the usefulness and advantages of SC-CO₂ extracted rice bran oil for edible oil and health purpose is also described.
