ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .01-January 2024 RICE BRAN OIL PROCESSING Introduction is obtained from paddy rice Rice bran is by-product obtained during rice milling operation. This is golden reddish cuticle obtained after removal of the husk and during polishing of the rice. Rice bran is a mixture of substances, including protein, fat, ash, and crude fiber. In many cases, bran contains tiny fractions of rice hull, which increases the ash content of bran. Rice bran in a multistage process, after harvest. The grains are submitted to the milling process, where, first, the kernel is separated from the hull (dehulling). The burnishing step is carried out to remove the brownish layer of the kernel, producing germ and bran. It is used for treating diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, alcoholism, obesity, and AIDS; for preventing stomach and colon cancer; for preventing heart and bloodvessel (cardiovascular) disease; for strengthening the immune system; for increasing athletic and performance; for improving liver function; and as an antioxidant. improving energy 1.Solvent Extraction Method – (normally hexane) RBO produced from solvent extraction is preferred as a cooking oil, after further refinement, while the oil produced by cold pressed extraction is considered to be a superior functional oil as a dietary supplement and medicinal purposes. After solvent extraction, further refining of the rice bran oil involves degumming, neutralization, bleaching, dewaxing, and deodorizing to produce quality cooking oil, resulting in large amount of waste products left from the processes. Degumming involves the removal of phospholipids and lipoproteins through hydration by water with citric or phosphoric acid. Free fatty acids (FFAs) are the removed by neutralization process. Rice acid oil (RAO) is the major waste product from these two steps. Then, the bleaching step is applied to remove the pigments (including chlorophylls and carotenoids) of the RBO by adsorption on activated carbon or bleaching earth. A dewaxing and winterization steps follow by maintaining the oil at a low and very low temperature respectively to cause the solidified waxes and other high melting point substances as well as high melting point wax are separated as waste products.

Vol .03-Issue .01-January 2024 PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER 2.Cold Pressed Extraction Process - The cold pressed RBO is produced by compressing the rice bran through a mechanical screw press under mild heating (<50 °C), and the resulting oil is then filtered through filter paper, to produce the refined functional oil. Defatted rice bran and filter cake are the main by-products from this process. During both processes, a considerable amount of by-product is produced, some of which contains more or less quantities of potential ingredients for functional food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical manufacture. These ingredients include mainly of γ-oryzanol, tocotrienol, tocopherol, phytosterol, lecithin, carotenoids and long-chain alcohols. Rice bran wax (RBW) is also a rich source of aliphatic primary alcohols knows as policosanols and many studies have rice policosanols moderately decrease plasma cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic patients, reduce platelet aggregation. shown that Conclusion RBO is known for its high nutritional value due to the high concentrations of health beneficial bioactive compounds naturally present in the oil. Hot extraction process gets more oil yield and pure edible oil than the cold processing. It is gaining huge popularity in recent days due to its umpteen health benefits including improved heart health, regulates blood glucose and blood pressure, and prevents cancers, enhanced immunity, and skin health.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .01-January 2024 MYCOTOXIN IN EDIBLE NUTS, OILSEEDS, AND LEGUMES Introduction susceptible are particularly Food commodities like nuts, oilseeds and legumes are major dietary constituents which are widely consumed across world in form of traditional food or as a functional ingredient in processed foods. These constituents also help in combating various lifestyle associated chronic disorders as these are enriched in dietary proteins, fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phytochemicals. However, these materials, due to their physical and chemical composition, to mycotoxin contamination due to the presence of filamentous fungi/molds. Mycotoxin contaminated can occur any time during supply chain, either during vegetation in the field or during storage, as well as during the processing. Mycotoxin based contamination appears to be one of the major causes for economic losses of food and feed stuff and generating health-related risks posing serious health threat to both humans and livestock. Mycotoxins are low molecular weight secondary metabolites that are naturally produced by certain moulds in food products under warm and humid conditions. Mycotoxins appear in the food chain as a result of mould infection of crops both before and after harvest. Fungi contaminating nuts, oilseeds and legumes have been conventionally divided into two groups: 1. Field Fungi: Field fungi are those that infect the crops throughout the vegetation phase of plants and such as include plant pathogens Fusarium, Alternaria, and Botrytis species. . 2. Storage Fungi: This group include Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Mucor genera that infect grains after harvesting i.e., during storage. they Types of Mycotoxins are aflatoxins 1.Aflatoxins: The the major mycotoxin contaminants of peanuts, hazel nuts, pistachio nuts, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts and therefore the most important mycotoxins entering the human food chain upon consumption. 2.Ochratoxin A (OTA) It is produced by P. verrucosum and P. nordicum including A. and by a few Aspergillus species carbonarius and A. niger. The mycotoxin occurs on a wide variety of food products including coffee, grapes, beans, chickpeas, and nut seeds such as pecans exhibits pistachios. nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive, nephrocarcinogenic and teratocarcinogenic effects.

Vol .03-Issue .01-January 2024 3.Deoxynivalenol (DON) It is one of the major trichothecene mycotoxins produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum and F. crookwellense which mainly infects the food commodities like maize, millet, sorghum and soybeans and rice. The major acute toxic effect of DON is related to feed refusal, vomiting and severe gastrointestinal toxicity in teratogenicity, animals. Other effects cardiotoxicity, and disruption of immune the system. include 4. Zearalenone (ZEA) It normally co-occurs with DON and exhibits its activity by binding to estrogen receptors altering the estrogen responsive elements in the nucleus. ZEA also interferes with steroid metabolism and hence could be involved in the disruption of the endocrine system and has been shown to increase liver cell and pituitary tumors in mice. ZEA, α- zearanol and the type B trichothecene, 15-acetyl DON, are consistently detected in soybean oil. Conclusion Exposure to mycotoxins needs to be kept as low as possible to protect the people. Mycotoxins not only pose a risk to both human and animal health, but also impact food security and nutrition by reducing people’s access to healthy food. WHO encourages national authorities to monitor and ensure that levels of mycotoxins in foodstuff on their market are as low as possible and comply with the both national and international maximum and legislation. conditions levels, 5.Fumonisins: It is mainly produced by Fusarium verticilioides , F. proliferatum and A. niger. It cause a wide variety of toxic syndromes in animals, and depending on the animal species could affect the liver, kidneys, lungs and brain. They have been associated with the development of liver and esophageal cancer and neural tube defects in humans. Fumonisins have been non-genotoxic carcinogens that exhibited their mode of action via the disruption of lipid biosynthesis and hence the structure and function of cellular membranes. classified apparent as PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.
