Axiom Foods Highlights Brown Rice Protein as Allergen-Friendly Plant Protein
30 Nov 2015 --- Nordic Food Partners A/S, the European distributor of the one of the largest manufacturers of rice protein concentrates and rice protein isolates in the world, Axiom Foods, will showcase Oryzatein to attendees of FI Europe December 1-3, 2015. Oryzatein brown rice protein, reported by CNBC-TV as "the new meat," is used in thousands of mainstream food products in the United States from protein powder formulas to skincare lines, ice creams and nutrition bars.
The ingredient is the only clinically-shown rice protein to equal animal-based whey protein in building and maintaining muscle. Oryzatein earned the first GRAS-self affirmation for a rice protein and was awarded the coveted "Clean Tech Award" for its contributions to global innovation, sustainability and economic impact. Nordic Food Partners is showcasing this allergen-friendly plant protein to fulfill a growing interest amongst European food makers to find alternatives to phyto-estrogen-laden soy and dairy-based whey proteins.
"Oryzatein is one of the only vegan protein sources shown to be as beneficial as animal-based whey at building muscle and aiding exercise recovery," said Thomas Frey, Business Unit Director, Nordic Food Partners A/S. "We have it available in an 80% protein concentrate and also offer a 90% protein isolate."
"Oryzatein is packed with all 20 amino acids, including the essential ones the body must get from outside sources," said Axiom Foods, CEO, David Janow. "It is, by far, the most allergen-friendly vegan protein source and can be formulated with, and in conjunction with, soy protein and whey proteins."
Nordic Food Partners will also showcase Axiom's yellow and green pea proteins at the show and samples will be available for attendees to taste and test.
