Prevent aging, cardiovascular disease
Rice oil production process requires modern technology and extremely strict process. For optimal storage of gamma-Oryzanol and other valuable nutrients, rice oil must be extracted from fresh rice bran.
Peh Ping Teik, president of the 2018 International Rice Conference, reports that within six hours of being separated from the hulls, bran will be extracted to remove impurities and undergo complex refinement. modern, meet the strict standards of process, production technology, technical.
All to ensure the separation of all impurities but still retain the precious nutrients of rice bran, especially Gamma-Oryzanol.
The president of the 2018 International Rice Conference said that rice is one of the main foods of billions of people in the world, especially in Asia. However, few know that rice bran - a by-product produced during rice milling - can extract a good quality oil.
Accordingly, rice bran oil has a balanced composition of fatty acids and many nutrients that are beneficial to human health, such as phytosterols, vitamin E, especially Gamma-Oryzanol - rare nutrients found only in the bran bran Rice, has anti-aging effect and lowers blood cholesterol effectively.
PGS. Nguyen Thi Minh Tu, Institute of Biotechnology and Food Technology, Hanoi University of Technology, evaluated in recent years with the development of technology, rice oil becomes one of the high-end products. The market is used by consumers "hard" favorite.
According to Assoc. Nguyen Thi Minh Tu, rice oil has two characteristics most valuable. Rice bran oil is the only oil that contains Gamma-Oryzanol, which is 4 times more potent than vitamin E, reducing bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, which is good for patients or consumers with heart problems. blood vessels or high blood pressure.
The second characteristic of the rice oil is the ability to withstand extreme heat (nearly 250 degrees Celsius), so processing with rice oil does not degrade the nutrient content of the dish, while bringing color better food, more natural taste.
PGS. Nguyen Thi Minh Tu advised, people with cardiovascular disease should use rice oil products in the meal every day.
High quality rice for health
According to the International Rice Research Association, 200 kilograms of rice is needed to provide enough bran to produce one liter of rice oil. The above figures and the process of rice oil production are part of the reason why rice oil is now ranked as one of the most healthy oils.
According to BusinessInsider, Japan consumes 80,000 tons of rice oil each year. In the land of the rising sun, rice oil is dubbed "the heart oil" by supporting effective cardiovascular disease.
Peh Ping Teik said that rice oil in Vietnam - namely pure rice oil - is equivalent to rice oil produced in developed countries, meets strict standards for export to the International markets such as New Zealand, Australia.
The premium of rice oil is defined in this factor as the only oil containing the precious Gamma-Oryzanol, with the benefits of cardiovascular health.
Previously in Vietnam market, simply pure rice oil mainly serves the needs of export to developed markets such as Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Hong Kong. In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, the demand for high-end products has increased the health benefits of the Vietnamese people.
To meet that demand, Tran Anh Dung, director of the Cai Lan Vegetable Oil Company, said Simply invested to expand capacity to better meet the increasing demand for high-grade rice. level of domestic market and export.
