ARS Publication request: Lipid Content and Fatty Acid Profile in the Bran of a Rice Germplasm Collection Major fatty acids of bran oil were palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, which were in the ranges of 13.5-22.5%, 36.1-51.5% and 26.9-40.5%, respectively. Two different alternatives are proposed for increasing bran utilization: breeding for reduced oil content and low proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to increase rice bran stability, and breeding for higher bran oil content and improved fatty acid composition for bran oil production. However, currently because of its oxidative instability rice bran is primarily used for animal feed. www.ars.usda.gov /research/publications/publications.htm?SEQ_NO_115=132877   (270 words)
