Brown Rice Protein Isolate

Brown rice protein isolate is a plant-based protein powder made from brown rice. It is produced by isolating the protein content from the carbohydrates and fiber found in brown rice through various processing methods, often involving water or enzymes.

Manufacturers add brown rice protein isolate to foods as a source of protein. It is commonly found in protein powders, bars, and other dietary supplements, as well as in some plant-based meat alternatives and baked goods seeking a protein boost.

Brown rice protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various protein sources, but specific evaluations for brown rice protein isolate may vary. At typical consumption levels found in food products, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
