​As the world's biggest maker of rice, China's thriving rice development industry has given new roads to the advancement of our horticultural economy through profound handling and thorough use of rice. During rice processing, only starch is often utilized, and a substantial amount of high-quality rice protein powder found in by-products such as broken rice, rice embryos, rice bran, and rice husks remains largely untapped, resulting in significant protein resource wastage.

The product is extracted from the upper part of the style and stigma of Crocus sativus L., an iris plant. The main ingredients include picrocrocin, carotene compounds, safflower aldehyde, eucalyptol, pinene and other substances, and also contain a small amount of Isorhamnetin, kaempferol, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, etc. Saffron extract is a powerful scavenger of hydroxyl free radicals and superoxide free radicals. It can resist oxidation reactions, improve mitochondrial function, inhibit optic nerve cell apoptosis, improve microcirculation, improve immunity, resist arteriosclerosis, and resist oxidation. It has the functions of lowering blood lipids, promoting choleretics and liver protection, preventing and treating osteoporosis, and protecting kidneys.

Rice protein is the general term for protein from rice. Compared with wheat and corn protein, rice protein has the characteristics of low allergy and easy digestion, and is recognized as high quality dietary protein. In recent years, with the further deepening of consumers' cognition of the function of rice protein, the market demand for rice protein has a huge growth space

Among these solids, the primary component is starch, accounting for around 17% of the potato's total weight, followed by potato protein powder at roughly 2.3%, and trace amounts of reducing sugars and pectin, totaling about 0.5%.

Hesperidin is a natural plant compound that belongs to the flavonoid class. It is widely found in the peels of citrus fruits such as orange peel, pomelo peel, and lemon peel. Hesperidin has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and other biological activities, so it is widely used in medicine, health products, cosmetics and other fields. Hesperetin is one of the active ingredients of orange peel. It has been proven that its structure is a phenolic compound. Its properties are colorless crystals or crystalline powders with an aromatic smell. The melting point is 50℃~51℃ and the boiling point is 232℃. It is easy to volatilize and difficult to Soluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, it has a good effect on treating animal mites.Compared with organic phosphorus, organic nitrogen, and organic chlorine, it has the advantages of less toxic side effects, low residue, and no environmental pollution. For clinical treatment, it has the disadvantages of high cost and difficulty in making easy-to-use preparations. Tangeretin is widely used in Chemicalbook organic chemistry and life sciences and other fields. Because the content of tangeretin in plants is low and it is expensive, research on tangeretin in my country lags behind. my country is rich in citrus resources and has broad prospects for the extraction and application of tangeretin.

Rice protein is the general term for protein from rice.
