Re: Best Stabilized Rice Bran - Nutracea report

[Guest guest]

I just bought a sack of Satin Glo at Buckerfield's; it's a Manna Pro product

with the Nutracea logo cobranding it. The product is made to human food

processing standards (no food grade label). Other products with similar names

that Manna Pro bought from Nutracea include Natural Glo, Satin Finish, and

Max-E-Glo.

Nutracea will continue to produce stabilised rice bran with its patented

extrusion equipment for Manna Pro and a few other companies to sack. The

Nutracea logo will be on the sacks for the most part. This product

differentiation is a good idea as you'll see.

To summarise, Nutracea founders had previously developed and patented some bran

extrusion equipment that made about the best stabilised rice bran in the

industry, and subsenquently sold the patent and factory to another company when

things started to go south for the infant company. After a hostile takeover the

founders recovered, reinvented better equipment and patented it, and started the

new company Nutracea. Nutracea uses the improved process, which was optimised in

such a way that it doesn't imfringe on the first patent, now owned by the

hostile takeover. Nutracea then entrenched where they can really compete, in the

supply/wholesale end. Manna Pro sold original-labeled bags of Natural Glo, Satin

Finish, and Max-E Pro, until the stock of bags ran out, then apparently dropped

a product and combined names to form Satin Glo.

The improved Nutracea extrusion process yields a more stable rice bran; a year

in storage is advertised. Thus the hostile takeover drops to second best (

second place is first loser

I just had a chocolate whey with lecithin, vitamin D, selenium, inulin and

stabilised rice bran in it; I like it, it's kinda like a malted. The object is

to hide as much uncooked stabilised rice bran as we can in our food and try for

around 60 grams a day each. A serving should be around a 30 gram whey scoop;

maybe we can do two in the whey shakes a day plus whatever we can hide in our

food.

all good,
