Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to compositions having rice bran extract, method of making rice bran extract and method of using same.

Claims (16)

1. A composition comprising a soluble rice bran extract, the soluble rice bran extract having between about 3% and about 9% (w/w) total phosphorous content and being present in an amount effective to improve one or more properties selected from a cooked weight yield, water retention, a textural attribute, a hardness, oxidation stability, reduced purge, slicing yields, and a shelf life of a meat product or a seafood product, the total phosphorous content being from natural phosphorous-based molecules in the soluble rice bran extract.

2. The composition of claim 1 , comprising from about 45% (w/w) to about 70% (w/w) soluble rice bran extract.

3. The composition of claim 2 , comprising from about 1% (w/w) to about 40% (w/w) sea salt.

4. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more of at least one antioxidant or at least one antimicrobial agent.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the at least one antioxidant comprises one or more of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), rosemary extracts, green tea extract and other plant-based polyphenols, and wherein the at least one antimicrobial agent comprises one or more of sorbates, propionates, benzoates, lactates, acetates, diacetates, and bacteriocins.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the soluble rice bran extract comprises from about 0.003% to about 0.08% (w/w) total calcium content.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the soluble rice bran extract comprises from about 15% to about 22% (w/w) total sodium content.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the soluble rice bran extract has 120-150 kcal.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the soluble rice bran extract is present in an amount such that a cooked weight yield of the meat product or seafood product treated with the soluble rice bran extract is at least 5% greater than a control comprising an untreated cooked meat product or seafood product.

10. A composition comprising (a) a soluble rice bran extract having between about 3% and about 9% (w/w) total phosphorous content and (b) a natural curing agent comprising a nitrite source, the total phosphorous content being from natural phosphorous-based molecules in the soluble rice bran extract.

11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the soluble rice bran extract is present in a sufficient amount to improve one or more properties selected from water retention, a textural attribute, a hardness, oxidation stability, reduced purge, slicing yields, and a shelf life of a meat product or a seafood product.

12. The composition of claim 10 , comprising from about 45% (w/w) to about 70% (w/w) soluble rice bran extract.

13. The composition of claim 12 , comprising from about 1% (w/w) to about 40% (w/w) sea salt.

14. The composition of claim 10 , further comprising one or more of at least one antioxidant or at least one antimicrobial agent.

15. The composition of claim 14 , wherein the at least one antioxidant comprises one or more of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), rosemary extracts, green tea extract and other plant-based polyphenols, and wherein the at least one antimicrobial agent comprises one or more of sorbates, propionates, benzoates, lactates, acetates, diacetates, and bacteriocins.

16. A composition comprising a soluble rice bran extract, the soluble rice bran extract having between about 3% and about 9% (w/w) total phosphorous content, the total phosphorous content being from natural phosphorous-based molecules in the soluble rice bran extract.
