The American-Real Grower Co-operative Association reports a new bran oil extraction method raises rice bran value by removing oil and improving protein content. A two and a half year project led by Houston based Al Chambers Company built a pilot plant processing 50 tons of bran daily, with plans for commercial plants in Louisiana and Arkansas.
