To isolate oryzanol from the by-product of rice bran oil refinning, experiment of solvent fractional crystallization was carried out at various conditions with the dark oil obtained by acidifying the soap stock of micella refinning process and the pitch obtained from vacuum distillation of the dark oil. The impurity interfering the crystallization process such as waxes can be removed as precipitates by cooling the 1:1 mixtrue of acetone and dark oil to 0℃, From the dewaxed dark oil, oryzanol concentrate with 51.3% purity was obtained by fractional crystallization at 0℃ with the mixture of 8 part volume of hexane and 1 part of the dewaxed dark oil. The concentrate was recrystallized at room temperature with 20 part volume of methanol to yield oryzanol crystal of 98.3% purity. The optimum condition of vacuum distillation was temperature of 180℃ at 0.2∼0.4 torr with 2% steam sparging. At this condition, the free fatty acid in the dark oil was removed as distillate without thermal deomposition to yield 82.3% of oryzanol as the pitch of 27.3 purity. After concentration from the pitch with 20 part volume of hexane to yield yellow powder of 75.4% purity, the yellow powder was recrystallized in methanol at room temperature to obtain the crystal containing 99.0% oryzanol. The overall oryzanol yield from the dark oil and the pitch was 9.5 and 28.5%, respectively. The change of the composition of sterols and triterpenoid alcohols in the compounds isolated during fractionation was analyzed by GC-MS.
