Origin of Rice Bran oil
Rice bran is a golden reddish cuticle obtained after the removal of the husk and a by-product obtained during rice milling operation during polishing of the rice. Rice bran oil is the oil extracted from the germ and inner husk of rice. A medically significant component of the oil is the antioxidant γ-oryzanol which was shown as an active constituent improving blood cholesterol by reducing total plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, by increasing the proportion of good cholesterol (HDL).
Physically Refined Rice Bran Oil is generally golden yellow in colour. It is refined through steam distillation process which preserves all the essential nutrients.
