Commonly referred to as a ‘heart-friendly oil’, rice bran oil comprises of major constituents such as

levels of antioxidants not only make this oil healthy but also help it resist rancidity and spoilage,
thereby, extending its shelf life. These antioxidants also help to lower cholesterol levels. Further, good
amount of Vitamin E in rice bran oil helps to prevent cancer and boost immunity. As rice bran oil has
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and contains no trans-fats, it is considered a pivotal
component for the food industry. It is ideal for stir frying or deep frying as it can maintain its nutritive
quality even at high temperatures. The low viscosity of rice bran oil reduces the oil uptake during
frying, making the food less oily.
Owing to the aforementioned benefits of rice bran oil, it is increasingly demanded for numerous
applications in the food industry. According to a new report by Expert Market Research, the global
rice bran oil market reached a volume of 1.5 Million Tons in 2016 and is further expected to reach 1.9
Million Tons by 2022. Growing awareness about the health benefits and superior cooking properties
of rice bran oil among the consumers is one of the primary factors bolstering the market growth.
