Rice bran is a by-product of rice processing that is produced when the husk and bran are separated from the rice grain. It accounts for around 8-10% of the weight of paddy rice, with global production amounting to over 63 million tonnes annually. Originally from Asia, rice bran has found significant application in the production of horse and pet food as well as in numerous food and bakery products.

In contrast to a cereal-based diet, the risk of indigestion is significantly lower when feeding rice bran.

Its fibre content makes it a useful thickening agent for vegan sauces, gravies and condiments without altering their flavour.
Rice bran is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent ingredient for the production of gluten-free baked goods. As a natural, minimally processed ingredient, rice bran is in line with the clean label trend. It enables bakers to improve the nutritional profile of their products without having to resort to artificial additives, thus meeting consumer demand for transparency and simplicity of ingredients. At the same time, it has excellent moisture-binding properties that help keep baked goods moist, improving texture and extending shelf life.
Stabilised rice bran has a longer shelf life compared to raw rice bran, usually around 9-12 months, as it undergoes a process to inactivate lipase enzymes. It should have a mild, nutty flavour with no sour or rancid odour. Store the stabilised rice bran in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
