ABSTRACT

Dietary antioxidants protect the body against free radical production due to oxidation reactions inside the body and protect from their damaging effects. Free radical biology and antioxidant property of prevention have emerging research interests. Rice bran oil (RBO) has natural antioxidant components having antioxidant properties due to the presence of bioactive phytochemicals. The bioactive components such as oryzanol, alpha-tocopherol, tocotrienols of rice bran have been reported for exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, cholesterol-lowering properties, anti-cancer, and antidiabetic properties. Rice bran has extraordinary properties with high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value as compared to other vegetable oils. This report aims to discuss the nutritional and phytochemical components of RBO and their mechanism of action in preventing and management of various chronic diseases. As part of this study, a survey was also conducted on the mixed population to analyze how the deficiency of antioxidants is linked to dietary habits, income, age group, various lifestyle-related disorders, and public awareness regarding antioxidants. Keywords: Rice bran, Bran oil, RBO, Antioxidant, Oryzanol, Vitamin E, Phytochemicals
