Components of the unsaponifiab1e matter of crude rice bran oil were examined. A new compound having melting point of 157 ,_, 158°C was obtained. Molecular weight was deter· mined and ultraviolet and infrared analyses were carried out. Squalene and ferulic acid ester were confirmed to exist in the unsaponifiable matter of crude rice bran oil. Quantita· tive relation of components was calculated and found to be 42% sterols, 24% higher alcohols, 20% ferulic acid esters, 10% hydrocarbons and 2% unreported compound.
