During the rice bran oil production process, the crude rice bran oil extracted by the rice bran oil extraction machine contains some impurities and residual extraction solvents, so it is necessary to use rice bran oil refining equipment to remove impurities and harmful substances in the oil. In the rice bran oil refining process, in addition to rice bran oil, a series of by-products such as rice bran meal and rice bran wax can also be obtained.
Rice bran wax is an ester formed by fatty acids and fatty alcohols in rice bran oil, and also includes some free fatty acids. These waxes exist in fats and oils. When cooled to an appropriate temperature, they will crystallize, making the oil turbid and affecting the quality and appearance of the crude oil. At the same time, the chemical properties of rice bran wax are relatively stable, generally not easy to hydrolyze, and not easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body. Therefore, in the rice bran oil refining process, a dewaxing process needs to be added. The utilization value of rice bran wax is very high and is widely used in food processing, daily chemical processing, chemical production, etc.

Industrial use
Rice bran wax is widely used in industrial production. It can replace industrial products such as tantalum and palm wax and is used in the production of various industries. In addition, rice bran wax is also an important raw material for extracting high-carbon fatty alcohols, and has a particularly high application value in industry.

Uses in the cosmetics industry
Rice bran wax is also a common raw material for the production of cosmetics. Various cosmetics made from it are relatively mild in nature and can be directly applied to the surface of human skin. Frequent use can make the skin delicate and delay skin aging. In addition, cosmetics added with rice bran wax can also enhance the body’s resistance to ultraviolet rays. Applying in summer can prevent the skin from being sunburned.

Fiber manufacturing
Fiber manufacturing is also an important use of rice bran wax. After adding it, it can improve the flexibility, smoothness and glossiness of fiber products, allowing people to produce high-quality fiber products. In addition to these uses, rice bran wax can also be used as a stabilizer or lubricant, and can also be used as an excellent heat-resistant thickener in oils.
As an extension of the rice industry chain, rice bran oil processing can greatly improve the utilization rate of rice. In the rice bran oil extraction process, in addition to the main product rice bran oil, rice bran meal can also be obtained, and rice bran wax can be obtained during the rice bran oil refining process. Rice bran oil soap stock can also extract lecithin, oryzanol, etc., which can be used in the pharmaceutical industry and other industries. These by-products also bring considerable economic benefits to the company.
