Introduction:

Rice protein, a primary source of plant-based protein for the Chinese population, comprises four main proteins: albumin, globulin, alcohol-soluble protein, and glutelin. Among these, glutelin constitutes over 80% of the total protein content. According to GB 20371-2016 “Plant Protein for Food Processing,” rice protein is classified into rice concentrate protein (protein content 65%-89%) and rice isolate protein (protein content exceeding 90%) based on purity.

Features:

Widely recognized as a high-quality plant protein, rice protein plays a crucial role in the daily protein intake of the Chinese, with approximately 20-30g consumed per person per day, accounting for over 40% of the daily protein intake. Its amino acid profile closely aligns with the optimal amino acid balance defined by WHO. With superior Biological Value (BV) and Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) among plant proteins, rice protein rivals animal proteins and stands as the only grain protein exempt from allergy testing.

Acknowledged as a low allergenic food, rice protein has been an early ingredient in infant food products. It has been validated as a suitable alternative to milk powder for children with milk allergies. While hydrolyzed milk, soy protein, or other formulations can also prevent milk allergy reactions, infants allergic to milk exhibit better tolerance to formula containing rice protein. In sports nutrition, rice protein serves as a substitute for casein, whey, and soy proteins.

Active peptides with antioxidant, immune-regulating, and sleep-improving effects can be isolated from the enzymatic hydrolysates of rice protein. Due to its high solubility, rice protein finds applications in health supplements and solid beverages. Additionally, the exposed amino acids during hydrolysis impart a unique savory taste, making moderately hydrolyzed flavor peptides suitable for seasoning.

Current Status:

In comparison to the extensive research and applications of soy protein, studies on rice protein, both domestically and internationally, are still in the early stages. The low protein content in rice and the high extraction cost often lead to the production of rice protein as a byproduct of starch and sugar production. The limited solubility of rice protein restricts its widespread use in the food industry, necessitating various modification methods to enhance solubility and emulsifying properties for broader applications.

Prospects:

The low allergenicity and nutritional value of rice protein present significant opportunities in the food industry. Developing green, efficient extraction and modification technologies will contribute to the scientific and rational utilization of rice protein. As a major rice producer and consumer, China’s efforts in developing rice protein products, enhancing protein functionality, and expanding protein application areas are crucial for extending the rice industry chain, increasing post-production value, and promoting the economic development of the rice industry.
