Rice bran derivatives encompass various products derived from the nutrient-rich byproduct of the rice milling process, known as rice bran. These derivatives provide nutrients and bioactive compounds with positive health effects, including glycemic management, hypocholesterolemia, hypotensive and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as aiding bowel function.
The primary types of rice bran derivatives products include rice bran oil and rice bran meal. Rice bran oil is obtained from the husk or outer bran of rice grains. These products find applications in various industries such as food and beverages, animal feed, cosmetics and personal care, biofuel, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and others, catering to both industrial and retail sectors.
