When it comes to rice oil, this is an oil that everyone is not familiar with compared with soybean oil, but it is also an oil that has gradually entered the mainstream in recent years. With the improvement of people's consumption level, the continuous upgrading of oil technology, many kinds of oil emerge in an endless stream, recently, by the China Agricultural Industrialization Leading Enterprises Association Oil Industry Branch initiated the rice oil industry "big research and construction think tank" research group northeast trip to visit seven backbone enterprises, in-depth understanding of market demand, why choose rice oil? Why are you optimistic about the development prospects of rice oil?

1. raw materials

Rice oil is edible oil extracted from the rice skin and germ of rice. In the process of rice processing, rice processing plants pursue to grind out crystal clear rice. In fact, the most nutrient-rich part of rice is on the rice skin and germ of rice, while the protective skin of rice is on the inner wall of rice bran, which is why Baidu Encyclopedia writes rice oil, also known as rice bran oil.

2. nutrient elements

In terms of nutritional elements, rice oil contains not only phytosterols, vitamin E and other active substances contained in other oil species, but more importantly, it is rich in oryzanol, which is rarely extracted from other oil species. It can almost be said that only rice oil can preserve oryzanol in the produced rice oil, and only rice oil is rich in oryzanol.

Speaking of which, some people may know oryzanol, while others do not. Here, I would like to make a simple popular science: oryzanol exists in rice oil and mainly acts on the autonomic nervous system and endocrine center of the diencephalon. It can adjust autonomic nervous function, reduce endocrine balance disorders and improve symptoms of mental and nervous disorders. At the same time, it also has a variety of physiological functions such as reducing blood lipids, reducing liver lipids, preventing lipid oxidation, and antioxidation. There is also the role of resistance to arrhythmia, which can reduce the excitability of the myocardium by regulating the function of the plant nerve. The translation of this large number of new words and professional terms is-for students and professionals, it can regulate tension, anxiety, and palpitation; for insomniacs, it can relieve stress and help sleep; for middle-aged and elderly people, it can improve menopausal syndrome (endocrine disorders), The effect of reducing blood lipids covers a wide range of people.

Note that what we are talking about here is the role of oryzanol, not the direct role of rice oil. The two cannot be confused. After all, rice oil is edible oil, not medicine, and requires a long flow of water, similar to the role of food tonic.

The amount of 3. oil smoke is small-to a large extent to solve the life pain point of oil smoke injury to the lungs.

The elemental structure of rice oil is relatively stable, containing about 20% saturated fatty acids and about 35% monounsaturated fatty acids, so it will not smoke very quickly during cooking, and the amount of lampblack is very small, which is also an attractive place to buy compared with other oils. If the temperature is too high, other oils will emit a lot of smoke, while rice oil generally does not have this problem, this can greatly reduce the damage to the lungs when cooking.

4. taste

The taste of rice oil is relatively mild, and it can be fried, fried, fried and boiled in a variety of use scenarios, and there will be no encroachment of the fragrance of food due to excessive oil taste.

5. use skills

When cooking rice, you can drop some rice oil, which can make the cooked rice more crystal clear, soft and moist. And can make the aroma of rice more mellow and long.

The rice oil industry is an important category of edible oil in China and will usher in broad development opportunities. Whether in terms of consumption, consumption capacity, industrial chain or enterprise type, the rice oil industry has various advantages and potentials. However, in the face of fierce market competition, enterprises in the rice oil industry must also do their own market positioning and establish their own brand image and quality strength in the market to meet the growing needs of consumers.

According to the statistical analysis of the National Grain and Oil Information Center, China's rice oil output reached 400000 tons in 2012, 500000 tons in 2018 and 600000 tons in 2022. It should be pointed out here that although the output of rice oil has increased rapidly in recent years, its utilization rate is less than 30%. Compared with Japan's rice bran oil utilization rate of almost 100 percent and India's rice bran oil utilization rate of more than 70 percent, the gap is larger.

China is the largest rice producer and consumer in the world. In our country, rice, like wheat flour and corn flour, is the main grain variety in our country. About 0.8 billion million people in China take rice as their staple food, and about 1.3-0.14 billion tons of rice are consumed every year due to direct consumption of rice and its products. It can be seen that the consumption of rice and its products is the largest and most stable food consumption variety in China. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, my country's total grain output in 2022 will be 686.53 million tons, of which rice production will be 208.49 million tons.

In summary, China is rich in rice bran resources and has great potential for the development of rice oil production. Making full use of rice bran resources will play an important role in improving the self-sufficiency of edible oil in China.
