RiceBran
Technologies has numerous products which are used by food manufacturers to
create gluten-free, hypo-allergenic, minimally processed and non-GMO (i.e.,
non-genetically modified organism) nutrition rich products used in pasta, baked
goods, pizza dough, cereals, ground meats, healthy beverages and numerous other
applications. The company also makes similar protein rich ingredients used to
make animal feed for pets and horses.
All
of their products are derived from rice bran, in other words, the hard outer
layer of the rice grain. After rice is harvested, the farms mill the rice by
crushing rice grains together, which breaks off the husk, and then the next few
outer layers of the rice grain, the bran and the germ, are also broken off as
one converts brown rice to white rice. The bran is separated and further
processed via a combination of heat, water, and pressure are used to deactivate
the enzymes that cause rancidity in the rice bran. From this various products
are manufactured that have assorted levels of plant protein, carbohydrates, and
dietary fiber.
Much
of the nutritional value of rice lies in the germ and bran, which is typically
discarded during the milling process. About 60 million metric tons of rice bran
is thrown away or used as low-level animal feed annually. RiceBran Technologies
knows the value of this non-GMO food product rich in nutrients and
anti-oxidants. As rice is a staple food for 70% of the population with 600
million tons consumed annually, RiceBran Technologies has explosive potential
for growth.
The
U.S. nutraceutical and functional food market is expected to grow at a 5%
compounded annualized growth rate from 2013 to 2018, reaching $75 billion by
2018. RiceBran Technologies products are also sold into the functional food
segment, and are used in protein beverages, energy bars, meal replacement
products and a host of other healthy and natural products. The sheer size of
the market RiceBran Technologies addresses combined with its range of products
suggests this company has a very optimistic future.
