Rice bran oil (RBO) is healthy gift generously given by nature to mankind. RBO is obtained from rice husk, a byproduct of rice milling industry and is gaining lot of importance as cooking oil due to presence of important micronutrient, gamma oryzanol. Its high smoke point is beneficial for its use for frying and deep frying of food stuff. It is popular because of balanced fatty acid profile (most ideal ratio of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids), antioxidant capacity, and cholesterollowering abilities. Rice bran wax which is secondary by-product obtained as tank settling from RBO is used as a substitute for carnauba wax in cosmetics, confectionery, shoe creams etc. It can be also used as a source for fatty acid and fatty alcohol. The article is intended to highlight for the importance of RBO and its applications.
米糠油是大自然慷慨赐予人类的健康礼物。米糠油由碾米工业的副产品稻壳制取，由于含有重要的微量营养素γ谷维素，作为食用油正变得越来越重要。其高烟点有利于用于油炸和深度油炸食品。它很受欢迎，因为其脂肪酸组成均衡（饱和、单不饱和和多不饱和脂肪酸的比例最为理想）、具有抗氧化能力且能降低胆固醇。米糠蜡是米糠油罐底沉淀得到的次要副产品，在化妆品、糖果、鞋油等中用作巴西棕榈蜡的替代品。它还可以用作脂肪酸和脂肪醇的来源。本文旨在强调米糠油的重要性及其应用。
