Rice protein is derived from whole-grain brown rice through sifting, hydrolysis, separation washing, drying, sieving, and milling. It has several functional benefits, such as increasing water solubility, improving texture, promoting ease of dry flow, and masking off-flavors in food products. As a result, it is widely used as a formulation aid, stabilizer, thickener, and texturizer in baked goods, soup mixes, beverage bases, breakfast cereals, dairy product analogs, fats and oils, plant protein products, grain products and pasta, and processed fruits, vegetables, and juices. Nowadays, there is a rise in the demand for rice protein around the world as it is considered uniquely nutritious and hypoallergenic.

Rice Protein Market Trends:
The growing inclination towards a plant-based diet to avoid consumption of animal products due to allergens, concentration of toxins, unnecessary calories, and additional processing represents one of the main factors catalyzing the demand for rice protein worldwide. Moreover, it can be sprinkled on cereals and yogurt, added to cooked dishes to boost the protein content, and used for manufacturing infant food formula. Due to its high bioavailability and absorption, rice protein is easily digestible, thereby making it an alternative to soy in gluten-free products. Additionally, the increasing demand for gluten-free products on account of a significant rise in the number of individuals suffering from bloating, gas, cramping, and digestive discomfort from dairy products is contributing to market growth. Apart from this, it aids in weight loss, fat burning, fast muscle recovery, and reduced cholesterol levels in plasma and liver. As a result, rice protein powder is gaining traction in sports nutritional supplements to increase muscle mass and build strength. The increasing number of athletes is anticipated to bolster the market growth further.
