Abstract

        Processes for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)concentrates have important because of the beneficial properties of these substances to human health and in functional foods. This study investigated the changes in different urea-to-fatty acid (U/FA) ratios (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1, w/w) and crystallization temperatures (-10, 0 and 10oC) on the fatty acid composition of rice bran oil concentrate, compared with native rice bran oil (control). Overall, the amount of PUFA in the rice bran oil concentrate increased as U/FA ratios increased and crystallization temperature decreased, while saturated fatty acids (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) decreased. The results showed that the U/FA ratio at 3:1 had the highest PUFA (56%) among complexation treatments. The higher PUFA concentrations in low-temperature crystallization were obtained at -10oC, with PUFA rising to 60.6%.
