Abstract

Compared to other vegetable oils, rice bran oil (RBO) has a characteristic dark color which further deepens upon heating or frying of foods in the oil. Darkening of the oil during heating has been studied. The dark colorcausing material in crude, chemically refined and physically refined rice bran oils was separated using a silica gel column for a hexane-eluted oil fraction and a methanol eluted fraction. The methanol eluted fraction for all the above three types of RBO produced a dark color upon heating, hence the physically refined RBO methanol fraction was investigated further and contained monoglycerides (23.4 %) and diglycerides (67.4 %) of linoleic ? linolenic acids in its methanol fraction as analyzed by column chromatography and HPLC which decreased in concentration after heating. The linoleic acid level of 37.7 % in the methanol fraction was reduced significantly to 18 % after heating (52.3 % reduction). The IR and NMR spectra were similar to those of a monoglyceride/ diglyceride with NMR spectra indicating a lower amount of olefinic protons for the heated sample. These results showed that the darkening of RBO was due to the oxidation and polymerization of monoglycerides/diglycerides containing linoleic acid/linolenic acid.
