Industrial hydrogenation of rice bran oil, a substitute for tallow

Abstract

The Indian soap industry’s hard fat requirement was met until recent years by imported animal tallows. The search for alternate hard fats, consequent to the ban on the import of animal tallows in 1983, led to realization of the striking similarity in the fatty acid composition of mutton tallow and hydrogenated rice bran oil, except for thetrans oleic acid content. This paper traces the course of compositional changes undergone by rice bran oil during industrial hydrogenation, employing gas liquid chromatography and infra red spectroscopy.
