A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DEGUMMED AND DEWAXED RICE BRAN OIL FOR PHYSICAL REFINING

摘要

Rice Bran Oil is one of the nutritious healthy edible oil. Physical refining of RBO is difficult due to high gum and wax content. For physical refining of phospholipids, in terms phosphorus (p-value) waxes was need to brought down to lower than 5 ppm and 0.2% respectively. In this process degumming agent is 1% aqueous solution of CaCl2. Simultaneous degumming and dewaxing followed by bleaching gave oil with less than 5ppm phosphorus and 0.2% wax, which make oil, fit for physical refining.
