ENZYMATIC PROCESSING OF RICE BRAN TO PRODUCE EDIBLE PRODUCTS

摘要

This invention relates to novel processes for treating rice bran utilizing enzymatic digestion to separate the constituents of rice bran. These processes advantageously bypass several expensive, time-consuming and potentially hazardous conventional rice bran processing steps. The processes of this invention may be used to produce a variety of useful and valuable rice bran-derived products, including rice bran oil, rice bran fiber, rice bran protein and rice bran juice.
