The Ultimate Guide:
Enhancing Oil Quality and Health Benefits
In the world of cooking oils, rice bran oil has emerged as a rising star, praised for its numerous health benefits and versatile applications.
At Tocil, we take immense pride in being one of the leading manufacturers of physically refined rice bran oil, offering unparalleled quality to our valued customers. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricacies of rice bran refining, shedding light on its production process, nutritional composition, and the significant advantages it brings.
Understanding Rice Bran Oil:
The Heart Oil
Rice bran oil, often referred to as ‘the heart oil,’ derives its name from the brown part of rice known as bran. It is hailed as a heart-healthy cooking oil due to its balanced composition of fats.
Unlike other oils, rice bran oil contains a combination of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which have been linked to improved cardiovascular health. The World Health Organization (WHO), the American Heart Association (AHA), and other international food and health organizations have recognized rice bran oil as a “healthy oil” because of its well-balanced fatty acid content, consisting of 47% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), 33% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and 20% saturated fatty acids
The Refining Process:
From Rice Bran to Liquid Gold
Our state-of-the-art refinery employs cutting-edge technology to extract the maximum nutritional value from rice bran and deliver a premium product. Let’s take a closer look at the meticulous process of rice bran oil refining:
The initial step involves extracting oil from the bran through a carefully controlled process, ensuring minimal degradation of nutrients.
Next, the extracted oil undergoes degumming to remove impurities such as phospholipids, proteins, and mucilaginous substances.
Following neutralization, the oil undergoes bleaching, which is carefully purified to enhance clarity and remove residual impurities.
As an additional step after bleaching, our meticulous process includes dewaxing to clarify the oil further, ensure the removal of any waxy substances, and maintain optimal quality.
The oil is subjected to a deodorization process to eliminate any undesirable odors or flavors, leaving behind a neutral taste that preserves the original flavors of cooked dishes.
We take pride in ourselves on employing the process of physical refining, which sets us apart from chemical refining methods. Physical refining utilizes the latest technology to retain the natural goodness of rice bran oil, safeguarding its nutritional profile and enhancing its shelf life. Unlike chemical refining, our physical refining process avoids the use of harsh chemicals and excessive heat, ensuring a healthier and more environmentally friendly product.

The Nutritional Powerhouse
Rice bran oil boasts an impressive nutritional composition that sets it apart from other cooking oils. Here are some of the critical nutrients found in rice bran oil:
Rice bran oil contains Y-Oryzanols, a group of antioxidant compounds linked to various health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart diseases and preventing oxidative stress. At TOCIL., we maintain a minimum of 14000 PPM (Parts per million) of Oryzanol to ensure you receive the maximum nutritional value from our rice bran oil.
These natural plant compounds, found abundantly in rice bran oil, aid in lowering cholesterol levels and improving heart health.
Rice bran oil is a rich source of vitamin E compounds, including tocopherols and tocotrienols. These antioxidants play a vital role in protecting the body against free radicals, promoting healthy skin, and supporting overall well-being.
The balanced composition of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in rice bran oil maintains healthy cholesterol levels, reduces the risk of heart diseases, and supports long-lasting well-being.
