Bulk Rice Bran Oil

What is rice bran oil?

Oryza sativa (rice) bran oil is a refined cooking oil pressed from rice bran and supplied in bulk to commercial kitchens. Its neutral flavour means one oil can cover the fryer and the cold section, which reduces the number of oil lines a kitchen needs to order.

Pack sizes and formats

We supply bulk rice bran oil in a 1.8L bottle, a rice bran oil 4L pack and a 20L jerry can, from Arawana and Simply.

The 1.8L bottle and the 4L pack suits stir-fry service and dressing preparation, where oil is decanted in small amounts. The 20L jerry can is good for high-turnover frying, where one large pack reduces handling and changeover time across a service.

Why commercial kitchens use rice bran oil for frying

Commercial kitchens choose bulk rice bran oil for frying because of its smoke point of around 232°C (450°F). Its light, clean taste means chips and crumbed items taste of the food, not the oil.

Bulk rice bran oil for QSR and cafe kitchens

QSR kitchens use bulk rice bran oil for deep frying chips and crumbed items in high-turnover fryers, and as a neutral oil in marinades for chicken and other proteins. The 20L jerry can keeps fryer top-ups quick during service.

For cafes, rice bran oil can be used for shallow frying and stir frying. It can also be used in baking recipes that call for a liquid oil, and as a neutral base for salad dressings and mayonnaise. The 4L pack gives a smaller kitchen one oil for frying and cold preparation.

Bulk rice bran oil vs canola and other cooking oils

Bulk rice bran oil has a higher smoke point than canola or olive oil, and a more neutral flavour than olive oil. Here’s how the options in our oils and shortenings range compare:

● Rice bran oil: smoke point around 232°C, for kitchens that want one oil for high-heat frying and cold preparation.

● Canola oil: an all-round cooking oil for general frying and cooking.

● Sunflower oil: a light colour and flavoured oil for shallow frying and dressings.

● Olive oil: with a mild flavour and a lower smoke point, so kitchens reserve it for finishing rather than the fryer.

How to store bulk rice bran oil and check shelf life

Store bulk rice bran oil sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. Follow these guidelines:

● Storage conditions: follow the storage instructions printed on each pack.

● Unopened: check the best-before date printed on each pack.

● Once opened: keep the cap sealed between uses.
