Oryzenin Market

Global Oryzenin Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global oryzenin market size is expected to reach USD 178.46 million in 2024 and reach USD 349.69 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2024 to 2029. 

Though rice is essentially a high-calorie food, it also has a protein content of about 7%. Oryzenin, a type of glutelin is the major protein present in rice grains. Rice protein has a higher nutritional value than that of other cereals such as wheat and maize.

Glutelin found in rice proteins does not trigger celiac disease unlike that of glutelins found in wheat or barley. It is because the glutelin present in rice is a low molecular weight glutelin whereas high molecular glutelin is the one that might trigger celiac disease. They exist as macromolecular complexes and are hydrophobic. They are soluble in acid and alkaline solutions and are processed into polypeptides to store in vacuolar compartments of the cells.

Market Drivers and Restraints

With the increase in demand for rice protein in the market, oryzenin has become an essential ingredient in food and beverage industries due to its high protein content and gelling properties. Texturing and emulsifying properties of oryzenin are also one of the major reasons for increasing the demand for rice protein. Increasing health awareness among consumers, increasing R&D activities, and increasing demand for sources of protein that are lactose and gluten-free are driving the oryzenin market. However, stringent government regulations and the availability of alternative protein sources are restraining market growth.
