First isolated from rice bran oil in the 1950s, oryzanol is a natural compound with recognized antioxidant properties. Primarily known as gamma-oryzanol, it is in fact a mixture of ferulic acid esters of sterols and triterpene alcohols, rather than a single chemical entity. The name reflects its plant origin, specifically from *Oryza sativa*, the rice plant.
