This document summarizes a study on the effect of refining processes on the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) of rice bran oil. The study found that deacidification, which removes free fatty acids, significantly reduced the CAA value of rice bran oil samples. Higher concentrations of rice bran oil extracts exhibited higher CAA values. The CAA value was also correlated with minor components like sterols and oryzanols. The crude rice bran oil with more minor components and free fatty acids showed higher antioxidant enzyme activity compared to refined oils. The refining process needs optimization to retain beneficial minor components that contribute to rice bran oil's antioxidant properties.
