RBT's MGI subsidiary currently produces a wide range of oat and barley products. This facility has the ability to process additional grains that are grown in the Red River Valley.
RBT has partnered with 2 mills in the Sacramento Valley. These mills process Cal Rose medium grain rice products. The bran is stabilized utilizing RBT's patented stabilization process to ensure the highest quality and consistent product.
Stage 1 processing occurs at the rice mill. As soon as the bran and germ are removed from the kernel, RiceBran Technologies proprietary equipment begins the process of stabilization. A combination of heat, water, and pressure are used to deactivate the enzymes that cause rancidity in the rice bran. The stabilized rice bran is dried and packaged for shipment.
Stage 2 processing uses the stabilized rice bran from the stage 1 processing. Water and enzymes are added to the stabilized rice bran. The slurry is processed in a centrifuge to separate the insoluble fiber fraction, called RiFiber, and aqueous dispersible fraction, called RiSolubles®.
The products are dried and packaged in either bulk containers for finished food manufacturers and humanitarian relief or in canisters for retail consumer sales. A third product of the process, RiBalance®, is extracted prior to the centrifuge process. RiBalance® contains both the insoluble and soluble extracts, but in a more bio-available form.
