Quality Control

Our Rice Bran Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications. We ensure compliance with relevant specifications, including those for fatty acid composition, oryzanol content, and peroxide value. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and safety parameters is provided with every batch to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). As the oil is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term bulk storage to maintain freshness and prevent rancidity. Keep away from heat sources and strong oxidizing agents.
