The fatty acid and sterol compositions of six Malagasy rice bran oils were evaluated. Investigation by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) using Carbowax 20 M revealed 10 fatty acids, mainly palmitic (16–20%) oleic (41–44%) and linolenic (31–37%) acids. An OV 17 column was used to separate eight sterols, mainly Β‐sitosterol (53–59%), campesterol (16–26%) and stigmasterol (10–13%). No significant variation for the fatty acid and sterol contents was observed among the rice varieties studied.
