Rice Bran Extract Powder

 Rice Bran Extract Powder, also known as rice bran extract powder, is a natural plant extract powder made from rice bran produced during the processing of high-quality rice. It is refined through modern extraction, purification, and spray drying processes. It appears as a white powder with a fine, uniform texture, free of noticeable lumps, and a unique, natural aroma. It is easily soluble in water and some organic solvents, making it easy to incorporate into various products. As a professional supplier of plant extract powders, Kintainutri® offers products with varying active ingredient content, including common specifications such as 98% γ-oryzanol and 98% ferulic acid, to meet diverse application needs.

 

Kintainutri® implements meticulous control over the entire production process of Rice Bran Extract Powder, with each step focused on preserving active ingredients and ensuring product purity. The specific process is as follows: First, raw material selection and pretreatment: fresh rice bran from high-quality rice-producing areas, free of mold and pesticide residue, is carefully selected. Impurities are removed through a vibrating screen, and then low-temperature drying (controlled at 40-50°C) locks in nutrients and prevents loss of active ingredients.

Second, extraction: water or alcohol extraction combined with ultrasound-assisted extraction. Extraction parameters (temperature 60-70°C, extraction time 2-3 hours) are adjusted according to the characteristics of the target active ingredients (such as γ-oryzanol and ferulic acid) to improve the yield of active ingredients while reducing solvent usage, meeting green production standards. Third, purification and refining: the extract is filtered through a plate and frame to remove impurities such as crude fiber. The target ingredients are then eluted through macroporous resin adsorption separation, and then concentrated through a thin film (vacuum degree -0.08~-0.09MPa, temperature The concentrate is heated to 50-60°C (180-200°C) to increase the solids content of the concentrate to 30%-40%, ensuring the concentration of the active ingredient.

The fourth step is drying and forming. Spray drying technology is used, with the inlet air temperature controlled at 180-200°C and the outlet air temperature at 80-90°C. This allows the concentrate to be quickly atomized and dried, forming a uniform and fine white powder, thus preventing high temperatures from damaging the active ingredients. Finally, testing and packaging are carried out. Each batch of powder must undergo high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing for active ingredient content, microbiological testing (total colony count ≤1000 CFU/g, mold and yeast ≤100 CFU/g), and heavy metal testing (lead ≤0.1mg/kg, arsenic ≤0.05mg/kg). After passing the test, it is vacuum-packed in food-grade aluminum foil bags and protected with cardboard boxes to prevent moisture or contamination during transportation, ensuring that the product quality is controlled throughout the entire process from production to delivery.

Relying on its natural active ingredients and good adaptability, Kintainutri® Rice Bran Extract Powder has demonstrated wide application value in multiple fields and can provide customized solutions based on the needs of different scenarios: In the field of dietary supplements, its high-purity γ-oryzanol and ferulic acid ingredients can be directly used in the production of capsules, tablets, powders, and other products. For example, adding 98% powder at a ratio of 5%-10% to multivitamin powder can help enhance the product's antioxidant and physiological function regulation effects, and meet the daily nutritional supplement needs of healthy people; in the field of functional foods, because the powder is easily soluble in water and has no obvious odor, it can be added to meal replacement shakes, cereal energy bars, fermented milk and other foods.

For example, adding 3%-5% to meal replacement powder can enrich the nutritional dimension, and adding it to baked goods can delay oil oxidation and extend the shelf life of the product, while meeting consumers' demand for "natural functional ingredients". In the cosmetics field, thanks to its skin barrier protection and antioxidant properties, it is often added as an active ingredient to lotions, creams, serums, and conditioners. For example, adding 2%-3% to moisturizing creams can enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture and reduce environmental damage.

The fine, easily dispersible powder ensures a uniform texture and enhances the user experience. Furthermore, as a feed additive, this powder can be used in livestock, poultry, and aquatic feed to boost the animal's antioxidant capacity, improve meat quality and production performance, and provide a natural and safe nutritional supplement for the aquaculture industry. Kintainutri® provides product specifications and application guidance tailored to the compliance standards and technical requirements of each application scenario, helping customers efficiently develop end products.
