This study examines the supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO 2 ) extraction of oryzanols contained rice bran oil from powdered rice bran. The extraction efficiencies and concentration factors of oryzanols, free fatty acids and triglycerides in the SC‐CO 2 extracts were determined. With top‐flow type SC‐CO 2 extraction the total oil yield was 18.1% and the extraction efficiencies of oryzanols and triglycerides were 88.5 and 91.3% respectively, when 2750 g CO 2 was consumed during the extraction of 35 g rice bran powder. The concentration factors of oryzanols and triglycerides in SC‐CO 2 ‐extracted oil were higher than in the Soxhlet n ‐hexane extracted oil. SC‐CO 2 extractions indicated that pressure can be used more effectively than temperature to enhance the extraction efficiency and concentration factor of oryzanols. A two‐factor central composite scheme of response surface methodology was employed to determine the optimal pressure (300 bar) and temperature (313 K) for increasing the concentration of oryzanols in the SC‐CO 2 extracted oil.
