Tips:
- Store your rice bran oil containers in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Much as sunlight is healthy for certain foods, it can trigger decomposition in many cases. If your rice bran oil is unrefined, it is better to refrigerate it as refrigeration can prolong its shelf-life.
- If stored correctly, Rice Bran Oil should last about 1-2 years from the date it was bottled.
- Quality deterioration would include off-aroma, off-flavor, ‘rancid’ flavor profile. If the rice bran is integrated into another product, the initial rancidity could also initiate or accelerate quality degradation of other fat/oil in the product system.
