Rice bran oil-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rice bran oil is the oil extracted from the germ and inner husk of rice. It is notable for its very high smoke point of 490° F (254° C) and its mild flavor, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods such as stir frying and deep frying. It is popular as a cooking oil in several Asian countries, including Japan and China.[1]

Rice bran oil contains a range of fats, with 47% of its fats monounsaturated, 33% polyunsaturated, and 20% saturated. The fatty acid composition of rice bran oil is:[2]

Fatty acid Percentage

Palmitic 15.0%

Stearic 1.9%

Oleic 42.5%

Linoleic 39.1%

Linolenic 1.1%

Arachidic 0.5%

Behenic 0.2%

The oil may also offer some health benefits, as it contains oryzanol, an antioxidant that may help prevent heart attacks;[3] phytosterols, compounds believed to help lower cholesterol absorption; [4][5] and relatively high amounts of vitamin E.
