Rice Protein (Oryconc / Orysolate)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rice protein isolate and rice protein concentrate?
Rice protein concentrate (Oryconc, 50-65% protein) and rice protein isolate (Orysolate, 75-81% protein) differ mainly in purity. Isolate goes through additional processing to remove more starch and fiber, giving a higher protein percentage and a more neutral taste, typically used where protein density matters most, such as sports nutrition. Concentrate is more cost-effective and suits general food fortification and feed applications.
Who manufactures rice protein for food and feed applications?
Agricoze (Siddiq Agricoze Pvt. Ltd.) manufactures rice protein in Pakistan, producing Oryconc concentrate and Orysolate isolate in 50%, 65% and 80% grades, in both conventional and certified-organic qualities, for food, beverage, sports nutrition and animal feed manufacturers worldwide.
Is rice protein allergen-free?
Yes. Rice protein is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free, making it hypoallergenic compared to whey, casein, or soy protein, a common substitute for manufacturers formulating for allergen-sensitive consumers.
What mesh sizes does rice protein come in?
Agricoze's rice protein is available in mesh sizes ranging from 40 to 600, allowing manufacturers to select the particle size best suited to their application: finer mesh for beverages and supplements, coarser for bakery and feed use.
