Abstract
Rice hull material was converted to an adsorbent of the soy oil pigment, lutein, by a combination of ashing and acid activation. Pigment was adsorbed from a 20% (v/v) soy oil/hexane miscella. The most effective ashing temperature was 500°C. Five percent acid activation significantly promoted adsorption of the ash, but greater acid activation did not increase adsorption capacity very much. In the system studied, the performance of activated ash was comparable to that of activated bleaching earth. Nonactivated ash also had an ability to bind lutein but was less effective than activated adsorbent. The absorbance spectrum of the residual lutein was not altered by rice hull ash, but was changed when exposed to bleaching clay.
