Abstract

This study evaluated the yield and kinetic parameters of the extraction process of rice 
bran oil using n-hexane as a solvent. The extraction process yield increased with 
temperature and contact time until equilibrium was reached, across various 
temperatures, moisture contents, and particle sizes. These parameters significantly 
influenced (95% confidence) the extracted oil yield. Extractions were conducted at 
70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The kinetic model revealed a first-order reaction, with the oil 
yield increasing from 8.60 g/L at 70°C to 15.68 g/L at 90°C after 1 hour and 30 
minutes of extraction.
