Re: Fortified Rice Bran Question for Duncan

[Guest guest]

Seems good; I think the thing to compare besides the FFA levels is the handling;

i.e. how long to the stabilisation step from the polishing step. Minutes to

hours is best. Several factories now exist that stabilise rice bran, and they

all produce a slightly different product with varying stability becausae they

don't all have access to the same patented equipment. The companies with the

best output have the best equipment to protect with a patent. So far, NutraCea

is the top one I think.

all good,

Duncan

Duncan,

I went to the Nutracea site and they have 2 which seem to be rice bran (not

counting the capsules). Hard to tell which one is the stabilized rice bran

..you recommend. Or are they both excellent?

# RiSolubles <http://www.nutraceaonline.com/risolubles>

# RiBalance <http://www.nutraceaonline.com/RiBalance>

The site also speaks highly of Pelotas Rice Bran

oil<http://www.nutraceaonline.com/PelotasRiceBranOil>.

Would this be better than olive oil for salads? Or use both the rice bran

oil and olive oil?

Hi Alobar; Those rice bran products on the Nutracea site are food grade people

food. NutraCea no longer sells horse feed at retail. The soluble products

generally have most of the fiber removed, similar to RisoTriene from the

Integris Corporation. Full brans are of course lower in carbohydrate and higher

in fiber than solubles.

I didn't give more than a passing glance to the people food; I bought their

full-bran, full fat horse feed Satin Glo, now sold exclusively by Manna Pro and

carrying the NutraCea logo. It may also be available as Satin Finish and

Nutra-Glo in the USA.

I like the attributes of rice bran oil generally but I'm not going to use such a

high omega-6 oil. Too much inflammation and free radical damage.

One company's rice bran oil analysis in percent:

Palmitic C16:0 15.0

Stearic C18:0 2.0

Oleic C18:1 44.0

Linoleic C18:2 38.0

Linolenic C18:3 1.0

So, no, casual " exposure " aside, I wouldn't use RBO regularly instead of olive

oil. Olive oil has a pretty good profile.

If I switch out some of my milk fat and olive oil to reduce my monounsaturate

intake I will use fractionated coconut oil to cook with; it's pretty much all

medium chain saturated fat and it should be marvelous in salads. Anyone get any

MCT oil yet? Where?

all good,

Duncan

That other rice bran product sold by Manna Pro is Natural Glo, not Nutra-Glo.

all good,
