Characterization of refined rice bran wax: An alternative edible coating

Edible wax coating is one of the method for enhancing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, thereby post-harvest losses of these can also be reduced. India ranks first in the production of rice bran oil and large amount of wax available from the oil refineries. At present Indian scenario this wax is more used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries even though it is edible. Lack of proper refining method constraints its use in food application. In this present study refining of locally procured crude rice bran wax was done and its purity was checked by analyzing some physico chemical parameters. Variation in color, moisture content, melting point, acid value, iodine value and saponification value are observed as refining proceeds. The obtained results are accordance with previously reported values and similar to carnauba wax. The potential of crude wax in India can be wisely use for edible coating purposes which make value addition to the rice byproducts. | Characterization of refined rice bran wax: An alternative edible coating
