The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of different pressure and temperature combinations on the concentrations of tocols homologues, policosanol, phytosterol, and γ-oryzanol in crude rice bran oil (RBO) using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). To effectively separate oily substances from bioactive substances, fatty acid ethyl esterification was performed by sulfuric acid or the lipase catalytic method. In sulfuric acid esterification, γ-tocotrienol content was decreased by ca. 50%, whereas in lipase esterification, γ-tocotrienol content was not decreased. Therefore, lipase catalytic esterification was performed for the fatty acid alkyl esterification of RBO. The fractional extraction of RBO ethyl esters was performed using SC-CO2 in the condition of 9.62 Mpa, 10.34 MPa, or 11.03 MPa and 45°C, 50°C, or 55°C. During the fractionation of RBO using SC-CO2, a little tocols content was extracted with fatty acid ethyl esters, but policosanol and phytosterol were not extracted. Especially, there is a high correlation (R2=0.9306) between the density of CO2 and tocols contents extracted to the fractions. The concentration rates of tocols and phytosterol were the highest in the condition of 55°C and 9.62 MPa. Therefore, the lower CO2 density applied, the more efficient the concentrations of tocols and phytosterol were in this study.
