Rice Protein 80%

What Is Rice Protein 80%?

Rice protein is extracted from brown rice (or rice bran) by enzymatic hydrolysis, which breaks down the starch matrix to release the protein fraction, which is then concentrated, filtered, and spray-dried to approximately 80% protein. It is one of the most hypoallergenic plant proteins available — free from the major allergens that affect soy (a major allergen), wheat (gluten/wheat allergen), and dairy (milk allergen). This makes it an important ingredient in formulations targeting multiple allergen-free claims.

Rice protein's primary limitation relative to other plant proteins is its amino acid profile: lysine is the first-limiting essential amino acid, making rice protein less complete on its own than soy protein isolate. This is the nutritional rationale for the widely used pea + rice protein blend strategy: pea protein provides relatively good lysine content while being low in methionine; rice protein provides relatively good methionine while being low in lysine — the two proteins complement each other's limiting amino acids.

Buyer Checklist

• If formulating a "complete protein" blend, confirmed that pea protein or another lysine-rich source is included to complement rice protein's limiting amino acid
• Sample-tested for flavour and mouthfeel — rice protein can have a mild starchy or earthy note in some grades
• COA confirming protein %, moisture, microbiological limits
• FSSAI-compliant documentation confirmed
