Description

Gamma Oryzanol is a powerful natural antioxidant derived from rice bran oil, consisting of a mixture of ferulic acid esters of plant sterols and triterpene alcohols. This unique composition makes it a highly sought-after ingredient for its ability to support metabolic health and protect against oxidative degradation. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and cosmetic industries seeking to enhance product stability and efficacy.

Application

• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used in formulations targeting cholesterol management, menopausal symptom relief, and sports nutrition for its potential anabolic and antioxidant properties.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Incorporated into health drinks, fortified oils, and cereal products to improve shelf-life and add a health-promoting component.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a natural UV absorber and antioxidant in sunscreens, anti-aging creams, and lotions to protect skin from photo-oxidative damage.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or active ingredient in the development of specific therapeutic formulations.
• Animal Feed Additives: Employed to improve growth performance and antioxidant status in livestock and poultry nutrition.
• Industrial Antioxidant: Used to stabilize fats, oils, and polymers against rancidity and degradation during processing and storage.
