BACKGROUND: Rice bran is a nutritionally valuable by‐product of paddy milling. In this study an experimental infrared (IR) stabilization system was developed to prevent rice bran rancidity. The free fatty acid content of raw and IR‐stabilized rice bran samples was monitored every 15 days during 6 months of storage. In addition, energy consumption was determined. RESULTS: The free fatty acid content of rice bran stabilized at 600 W IR power for 5 min remained below 5% for 165 days. No significant change in γ‐oryzanol content or fatty acid composition but a significant decrease in tocopherol content was observed in stabilized rice bran compared with raw bran. IR stabilization was found to be comparable to extrusion with regard to energy consumption. CONCLUSION: IR stabilization was effective in preventing hydrolytic rancidity of rice bran. By optimizing the operational parameters of IR stabilization, this by‐product has the potential for use in the food industry in various ways as a value‐added commodity. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
