Production of Lipid-based Functional Ingredients from Rice Bran Oil By-products

 

Technology Overview

With expertise in lipid analysis and profiling, fatty acid and bioactive compounds, KMUTT research team has developed a simple, scalable functional lipid extraction technology that turns industrial waste into high-value chemicals such as gamma oryzanol, wax ester, policosanol, phenolic acids and vitamin E.

Extracts Properties and Benefits Applications TRL
Purified rice bran wax A replacement for carnauba wax, eliminating the need for imports. Fruit coating agent 6
Policosanol Lowers cholesterol levels and acts as an organogelator that transforms oils into a solid phase without altering their composition, resulting in a product with lower amount of saturated fats and free from trans fats. Organogelator for margarine 6
Gamma oryzanol Antioxidant properties suitable for oil-based products, lowers cholesterol levels, and provides protective functions against Alzheimer’s disease. Stable under high temperatures. Food supplements, face cream and body cream 5
Phytosterol Lowers cholesterol levels. Food supplements 4
Ferulic acid Provides sun protection, antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-cancer properties. Effective in polar and semi-polar systems. Food supplements, sunscreen, face cream and body cream 4
Ethyl ferulate Exhibit the same properties as ferulic acid but offers better cellular absorption. Effective in emulsion and semi-polar systems. Sunscreen, face cream and body cream 4
