Rice Bran Refinery
Our Rice Bran Oil Ensures
Good Health And Happy Heart
Rice bran is the thin covering and nutrient-rich layer of brown rice.
Rice bran oil finds applications in various industries due to its emollient characteristics and health-giving benefits. It is produced by
extracting oil from the brown rice’s inner husk and germ. It has a mellow nutty, balanced flavour and is stable at high temperatures.

Degumming
Degumming removes phospholipids, which
improves the physical stability of the product.
The procedure is also required to facilitate
further refinement processes.
Pre Bleaching
Bleaching improves the quality of the oil by carefully
eliminating pigments and contaminants through the physical
and chemical action of an adsorbent with it.
Dewaxing
Dewaxing is the technique of systematically cooling the oil and
removing saturated glycerides to isolate higher melting point
compounds such as waxes or triglycerides.
Winterization
Waxes and saturated triglycerides that are observable at low temperatures are
eliminated in this procedure to preserve oil clarity. To attain a high-grade
oil, degummed, bleached, and dewaxed oil is cooled and filtered.
Deodorization
Vacuum stripping is achieved by pumping a precise amount of a stripping
agent (typically steam) through heated oil at reduced pressure for a defined period.
This is primarily a manual procedure for removing different volatile substances.
Finally
Heart-healthy refined rice bran oil is ready for use.
