Upcycling Rice Bran

Rice bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of dehulled rice. It contains fiber, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, making it valuable for use in food, cosmetics, skincare, pharmaceuticals, and as a reinforcement material. Globally, more than 50 million tons of rice bran are produced annually.

Upcycling rice bran reduces food waste and enables the creation of high-value products for the agricultural industry.

However, one major challenge is efficiently processing and extracting its nutrients.

Star Burst Technology: Maximizing Production Yield

The Star Burst wet-jet milling system solves this problem. Using ultra-high-pressure jet technology, it instantly breaks down rice bran, unlocking its nutrients with exceptional efficiency.

Key Benefits:

  • Higher extraction yield of active components
  • Improved nutrient bioavailability for better product performance
  • Greater formulation flexibility for foods, supplements, and cosmetics
  • Biodegradable cellulose additive for reinforcement, binding, and barrier properties
  • Scalable, high-productivity processing for commercial applications

With Star Burst, manufacturers can transform rice bran into a premium, high-value ingredient that delivers its full natural potential.
