The Europe Rice Bran Oil Market would witness market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026). Rice bran oil (RBO) is a very good source of a number of micronutrients and natural antioxidants like sterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phospholipids, phytosterols, and squalene. These micronutrients are the bioactive components of RBO, focused mainly in the unsaponifiable fraction of the oil. They are lost to a large extent in the refining process and concentrated in a number of by-products/residues like gum and soap stock, deodorizer distillate, and wax from both the physical and chemical refining process.
RBO producers are focusing on the recovery of these micronutrients either by avoiding their loss in by-products or by extracting them from by-products for further use in food, medicinal, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industries. In their recovery, various methods such as extraction and crystallization of solvents, extraction of supercritical oils, saponification, esterification, and molecular distillation are used.
In addition to food and nutritional supplements, rice bran oil is becoming increasingly common as an ingredient in the cosmetics and personal care industry. Vitamin E present in the rice bran oil prevents the oxidation of the skin tissues, giving it a good glow and delaying the aging process. Property of rice bran oil for curing itching skin, as well as its ability to be used as an anti-dandruff agent, may open up new perspectives for further growth in this sector in the near future.
The Oryzanol component also protects against ultraviolet light and thus maintains a high potential to be used as a sunscreen agent. Ferulic acid in Oryzanol serves as a natural anti-aging agent for the skin and also helps promote hair development, which could open up new avenues for the demand in rice bran oil. Its continued use as an ingredient in the soap industry may trigger a positive pulse for the rice bran oil market over the forecast period.
