Background and Objectives: For a long time, Asian women have known to use rice water, rice bran for skin care, lightening dark spots and slowing down the aging process. Gamma Oryzanol, an ester mixture of trans-ferulic acid with phytosterols and triterpene alcohols extracted from rice bran oil, has been shown to have beneficial effects on the skin, especially its antioxidant and anti-aging effect. The aims of this research were to formulate Gamma Oryzanol-loaded anti-aging cream and to evaluate the product quality. Materials and Methods: Gamma Oryzanol was imported from Japan. Some formulation parameters such as emulsifi-ers, performance modifiers were investigated and the product quality was evaluated according to the criteria of drugs and cosmetics. Results: The excipients were chosen including 1% (w/w) of Lunamer with 3% (w/w) of Prolipid as emulsifiers and 8% (w/w) of mango seed butter as a state modifier in the formulation of Gamma Oryzanol anti-aging cream. The cream is ivory-white, thick, smooth, fragrant-smelling and satisfied all criteria of developed specification. Conclusion: The study was successful in the preparation of Gamma Oryzanol anti-aging cream. Key words: Gamma Oryzanol, anti-aging cream, Franz cells.

Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for developing coronary artery disease. Lifestyle modification including an intake of healthy food as well as medication have approved effect in lowering serum cholesterol. Objective: The primary objective of the present study was to determine the impact of a gamma-oryzanol-enriched rice bran oil, a product of Thailand, on serum cholesterol level. Materials and Methods: A total of in 54 hypercholesterolemic patients were divided into two groups; RBOh (20,000 ppm of gammaoryzanol, n = 27), and RBOn (5,000 ppm gamma-oryzanol, n = 27). The assigned RBO (15 ml) was intake each day for 8 weeks. Fasting serum lipids were measured at baseline and at the 4th and 8th weeks of the intervention. All patients were advised about lifestyle modifications. Results: When compared to the baseline, subjects received RBOh showed a significant difference in 2 parameters including a reduction of cholesterol level at 8th weeks (p-value = 0.0101), and decrease in LDL-C level at the end of 8th weeks (p-value = 0.0013). In the group treated with RBOn, a significant increase in HDL-C level at the end of 8th weeks (p-value = 0.0303) without any effect on total cholesterol or LDL was observed. No sign of toxic effect on liver or renal functions was seen in both treatment groups. Conclusion: RBO with gamma-oryzanol-enriched could decrease cholesterol and LDL-C level in hypercholesterolemic patients. Therefore, gamma-oryzanol-enriched RBO is a functional food that may reduce cardiovascular disease risk factor. Keywords: Hypercholesterolemia, Rice bran oil, Gamma-oryzanol, Oryza sativa

<p>Rice bran oil distillate is one among the secondary products produced during refining of rice bran oil. Rice bran oil distillate is a source of several micronutrients and natural antioxidants like Gamma-oryzanol, tocopherols etc. The aim of the present study was to separate Gamma-oryzanol from distillate and utilize it as a stabilizer for edible oil. In order to achieve this aim crystallization process was applied to obtain oryzanol rich concentrate. Further purification of oryzanol was achieved through column chromatography. Fractions of Gamma-oryzanol were quantified through HPLC which gives 0.83% yield. Separated Gamma-oryzanol was used to study the stability of pea nut and linseed oil using rancimat. The experiments were carried out in rancimat at varying temperature (110-130 ºC) and concentration (100-300 ppm). Stability of both the oil was found to be directly proportional to the Gamma-oryzanol concentration and inversely proportional to the temperature.</p>

Introduction: Adult individuals in Indonesia showed changes in diet and lack of physical activity, therefore increasing the risk of hypercholesterolemia and obesity. One of nutritional therapy for hypercholesterolemia is rice bran oil, which contains active substances that works synergistically in controlling lipid profile. The substances are gamma-orzanol, phytosterols, and vitamin E isomers (tocotrienol and tocopherol).Methods: A clinical trial was conducted for 4 weeks in City Hall of Jakarta on 20 males, age 19–55 years old, with mild-moderate hypercholesterolemia, to assess lipid profile improvement of the supplementation of rice bran oil 45 ml/days compared to 15 ml/days without changing eating patterns.Results: After 4 weeks of intervention, there was significant difference in total cholesterol level between both groups (p = 0.049). In the group that received 45 ml/days of rice bran oil, total cholesterol level decreased 14%, and in the group of 15 ml/days total cholesterol level decreased 7.8%. The reduction of LDL and triglycerides and the increase of HDL were not significantly different between both groups (p >0,05). There was no significant changes of body weight in both groups.Conclusion: This study showed that consumption of  45 ml/days rice bran oil led to better improvements in lipid profiles compare to 15 ml/days. It has been demonstrated that gamma oryzanol and plant sterols in rice bran oil have the capability to remove cholesterol from bile salt micelles, thus decreasing cholesterol absorption in intestine.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia may contribute to hardening or thickening of the artery walls which increases the risk of stroke and heart disease. Therefore, the normal level of serum triglyceride can prevent both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Gamma-oryzanol, a phytosterol compound presents in rice bran oil, has been shown to exhibit lipid-lowering effects in both animals and human. Objective: To evaluate the effect of gamma-oryzanol-enriched-rice bran oil from Thai brown rice, prepared by innovation technology, on plasma triglyceride (TG) level in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Materials and Methods: Double-blind randomized clinical trial was carried out in 54 subjects with hypertriglyceridemia. They were divided into two groups (27 patients per group) and treated with RBOh (gamma-oryzanol-enriched rice bran oil, 20,000 ppm of gamma-oryzanol), and RBOn (cooking oil, gamma-oryzanol 5,000 ppm). The treatments were performed for 8 weeks. Physical examinations and laboratory tests were performed at weeks 0 (as baseline), 4th and 8th of the study. Lifestyle modifications were conducted in both groups. Results: Significant reduction of plasma TG levels at the 4th and 8th weeks of the treatment were found in RBOh-treated group with p-value = 0.024 and 0.006, respectively. In RBOn-treated group, significant reduction of plasma TG and increase in HDL levels and was observed at the 4th week, but not the 8th week of the treatment, with p-value = 0.001 and 0.020, respectively. TG/HDL cholesterol ratio was significantly reduce at the 4th and 8th week in RBOh-treated group (p-value = 0.011 and 0.048, respectively) and at the 4th week in RBOn-treated group (p-value = 0.003). No serious side effects were found throughout the study period in any group of treatment. Conclusion: Rice bran oil containing gamma oryzanol could reduce the TG level in hypertriglyceridemic patients. The RBOh, gamma oryzanol-enriched rice bran oil, showed prominent effects in reducing serum TG level and TG/HDL ratio. Therefore, RBOh intakes might be able to help prevent the occurrence of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease in the patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Keywords: Hypertriglyceridemia, Rice bran oil, Gamma-oryzanol, TG/HDL ratio
