Biofuels

The microbial conversion of organic matter into biofuels holds potential as a renewable energy source. Among biofuel sources, microalgae are recognized as a highly efficient and adaptable feedstock for biodiesel production, owing to their rapid biomass accumulation, elevated lipid productivity, and capacity to proliferate in diverse aquatic systems, including freshwater, marine, and wastewater habitats. Unlike terrestrial crops, microalgae do not compete for land and can achieve significantly...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Food Chemistry
  • Green Chemistry

Background:

  • Rice bran is a valuable by-product rich in antioxidants like tocopherols and gamma-oryzanol.
  • Efficient extraction methods are needed to valorize rice bran into functional ingredients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare Soxhlet, maceration, and supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) extraction for rice bran oil (RBO).
  • To evaluate RBO yield, bioactive compound preservation, antioxidant capacity, fatty acid profile, and environmental impact.

Main Methods:

  • Extraction of RBO using Soxhlet, maceration, and SC-CO2 techniques.
  • Quantification of tocopherols and gamma-oryzanol.
  • Assessment of antioxidant capacity using FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH assays.
  • Analysis of fatty acid profiles.
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for environmental impact evaluation.

Main Results:

  • All methods yielded comparable oil quantities (~9.5-10.8%).
  • SC-CO2 extraction demonstrated superior preservation of tocopherols (116.9 µg/g) and gamma-oryzanol (13.2 mg/g).
  • SC-CO2 extracted oil exhibited higher antioxidant capacity and a more favorable unsaturated fatty acid profile (86.3%).
  • Life Cycle Assessment indicated SC-CO2 extraction has the lowest ecological burden.

Conclusions:

  • SC-CO2 extraction is a green and efficient method for producing high-quality, antioxidant-rich RBO.
  • This technique offers a sustainable approach to valorize rice bran for food and cosmetic applications.
  • The study supports the development of a sustainable bioeconomy by converting agricultural residue into functional ingredients.
