 RICE BRAN OIL
[CODE NO. 5200]

     Solvent extraction in general implies the removal of soluble material from an insoluble solid phase by dissolution in a liquid solvent.   The soluble  constituent may be a pure  liquid  or  a liquid  solution  or  even  another  solid  mixed  more  or  less intimately  with the insoluble material.  The solid phase may be particulate  matter or a semi permeable cellular  material.   The solute  may  dissolve quickly upon contact with solvent,  or  may dissolve   only  after  diffusion  through  insoluble   material, depending  upon the solvent used, the type of  equipment,  nature and  physical  condition  of the solid phase  and  the  operating conditions.

     Solvent extraction, as applied to the oil industry, involves the  leaching of oil from an oil bearing seed or  cake  specially prepared  for  efficient extraction, by  a  hydrocarbon  solvent, generally  n-hexane.  Groundnut oilcake, rice bran  and  soyabean specially amenable to such treatment.

     While   extraction  with  solvents  constitutes   the   most efficient  method  for the recovery of oil from  any  oil-bearing material,   it  is  relatively  the  most  advantageous  in   the processing  seeds or other material low in oil.  The minimum oil content to which oil cake can be reduced by mechanical expression is approximately the same for all oil seeds, that is, about 2 to 3%.    Consequently,   the oil   unrecoverable   by   mechanical expression, in terms of percentage of the total oil, increases.  Substitution of solvent extraction for pressing methods increases the  yield  of  oil  from  soyabeans  by  12.1%  whereas  in  the processing of yield of oil from increase 11.5% and in the case of flaxseed  only  5.3%.   The  figures, it  should  be  noted,  are industry-wide averages.  The increase of oil yield for soyabeans and cottonseed by solvent extraction over the most efficient mechanical processing  today  is appreciably less.  Of all the common oil seeds, soyabeans are solvent-extracted most  easily.  By "Prepressing" or "forepressing" the seed in low pressure screw presses   to  remove  a  portion  of  the  oil  it  is   possible subsequently  to solvent-extraction high-oil-content  seeds  that are  difficult or impossible to handle in their original form  in conventional  equipment.  In Europe and where European practices have prevailed, it is the general practice  to  extract  whole soyabeans but to prepress other oil seeds.  In the United States prepressing   is  used  commercially  on  cottonseed,   flaxseed, peanuts, and corn germ.
