Bran with Benefits

January 2012/NutraSolutions-- BENEO’s shelf-stable rice bran, RemyLiVe, offers food producers a high-quality, stable product that encompasses a wide range of nutritional and functional benefits. In addition to being hypoallergenic, whole-grain, gluten-free, and rich in antioxidants and phytosterols, the shelf-stable rice bran is also said to improve the structure, shelflife, texturization and machinability of food products. Key applications for BENEO’s RemyLiVe shelf-stable rice bran include cereals and bars, baked goods and meat. Increased benefits can also be achieved by combining RemyLiVe with other functional ingredients. For example, when combined with BENEO’s oligofructose/sugar replacer, ISOMALT, RemyLiVe rice bran offers producers sugar reduction and improved structure and shelflife in baked goods. It will be available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as well as Russia, India, Australia and New Zealand early this year. BENEO,

That’s also something of an apt description for the plant-based food and beverage market, which continues to capture attention as it grows and shifts.
