Forget everything you thought you knew about rice protein because Axiom Foods is proud to announce the launch of Oryzatein® 2.0. This isn’t just an improvement; it’s a groundbreaking innovation that ushers in a new era for plant-based proteins. After more than 15 years of dedicated research and development, this revolutionary product is set to elevate the predicted 3.90 CAGR for Rice Protein, by unlocking unprecedented opportunities for the natural products industry – without compromising on the non-GMO, hexane-free process.
“Oryzatein® 2.0 Rice Protein represents a significant advancement in the formulation of infant foods and beverages, particularly those requiring plant-based protein sources devoid of grit and heavy metals,” stated Rick Ray, Director of Food Technology at Axiom Foods. “This innovative rice protein addresses longstanding challenges associated with plant proteins, such as grittiness, flavor interference, off-white coloration, concerns regarding lead, and allergen issues. As a result, food technologists are empowered to create truly groundbreaking products, from dairy alternatives to the infant nutrition sector.” It is important to note that rice protein has never posed an arsenic risk, as arsenic is water-soluble and effectively removed during the protein concentration process.
