3.Quenching and tempering: it is the process of preheating so that to improve the temperature of the rice bran before puffing. After quenching and tempering the temperature will be controlled at 65–75 °C, and the moisture will be controlled at 10 ~12%.

4.Puffing: To make the rice bran powder to pellet , it is much more easy to solvent extract the oil out.
