Research Progress on the Application of Rice Bran Extract in Food and Health Fields

Abstract

Rice bran extract (RBE) is a nutritional substance isolated from rice bran. Due to its high content of bioactive components and its good antioxidant capacity, RBE has unique advantages in the food and health fields. Furthermore, the types and contents of bioactive compounds obtained vary depending on the raw materials and preparation methods used. This review systematically discusses the common preparation methods, functional properties and application status of RBE in the context of recent research on it, and points out the shortcomings of the current research. Next, this paper explores the potential application value of RBE in the food and health fields and future research hotspots, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the intensive processing of rice bran.
