Abstract:
In our present study, we worked on the preparation of different medium chain fatty acid rich rice bran oils and comparison of their in vitro digestion study and in vivo intestinal absorption in the single-pass perfusion rat model. The physicochemical properties of the oils were also analyzed. Medium chain fatty acids have a better absorption capacity in comparison to long chain fatty acids. Medium chain fatty acid rich rice bran oil was prepared by enzyme catalysis technique which resulted in substitution of long chain fatty acids in rice bran oil with medium chain fatty acids. In vitro digestion study showed that medium chain fatty acid rich rice bran oil was better digested in comparison to native rice bran oil.
Keywords:
