Market Opportunities:

TREATS – extruded, baked, formed

SUPPLEMENTS – same contract manufacturers as human supplements

RIBUS provides rice based ingredients (bran extracts and hulls) that can provide unique functionality (not just fillers) with clean label declarations

Emulsification – bind oil and water together in formulations to replace soy lecithin or mono and di-glycerides.

Hydration Aid – allow proteins and other challenging ingredients to fully hydrate for extrusion, canning or forming of treats, replacing soy lecithin or simply eliminating a problem.

Anti-Caking Agent – keep powders flowing freely by replacing silicon dioxide with rice hulls, in pet supplements or at key processing steps withinthe production.

Extrusion Aid – increase extrusion output, reduced breakage, fewer fines, better definition of shape and excellent co-extruded products, by replacing mono and di-glycerides with “rice extract”.

Clean Label – Human grade, Non-GMO, Natural/Organic, Allergen-free, Chemical-Pesticide-Color-free, Gluten-free
