Nu-MAG is a tan color and does have a unique smell. However, we have customers who have produced white tablets using proper blending techniques. The flavor is relatively bland; however, this could be an issue in some chewables, based on the flavors added. Dosages are...

Nu-MAG is a clean label alternative for customers that do not want “magnesium stearate” on their labels but need a lubricant. Secondly, Nu-MAG will help a tablet or capsule disintegrate faster than magnesium stearate. Thirdly, there are theories that indicate that mag...

Rarely: Nu-RICE is a natural light tan color that blends into most formulations. In pure white products, a whitener may be required (titanium dioxide).

Nu-RICE can extend the shelf-life by holding more moisture, so the product will stay fresh longer. The extension will depend on packaging, preservatives, gas flushing and other factors. Nu-RICE is not a preservative.

No. It is the water-soluble extract from rice bran.

It serves two functions: 1) hydration aid to help the moisture go into the grain-based material faster and more evenly (multi-grain products), almost like a pre-conditioner in a bag; and 2) functions like a mono- or diglyceride that allows the oils in the grain to...

Nu-RICE at 0.5%, potentially up to 1%, for added texture and extrusion assistance. This is untested, but if the meat analog product needs a stronger texture or a binding effect, you could consider testing Nu-BIND at 0.5-1% and analyze results.

Yes, please refer to a emulsion stability that compares the strength and stability of different products, in an oil-in-water system. If the application is water-in-oil, the values would be different.

Let’s compare the two different types of lecithin: liquid and powdered. A liquid is generally 80% oil and 20% lecithin. In that application, you would use 80% oil and 20% Nu-RICE to achieve the same/similar functionality. In these ratios, Nu-RICE should be equal or...

No. It is not a foam creator, as the air entrapment is not strong. It is a surfactant or hydration aid in powdered beverages since it breaks the surface tension of water and encourages hydration of the powder.

No, just the opposite, it reduces tooth packing. If 0.5% Nu-RICE makes the snack too delicate, the usage rate can be scaled back to 0.33% or even 0.25% as needed.

RIBUS produces rice bran extract and sells it under two brand names: Nu-BAKE® and Nu-RICE®. While the products are identical, we sell them under different names because they are used slightly differently in different applications.
