What Are Red Yeast Rice Granules?
Red Yeast Rice Granules is a natural food ingredient. It is made from fermented rice by the red yeast mould (Monascus purpureus).We utilize an extrusion granulator to produce 20-40 mesh granules, ensuring excellent flowability, making them ideal for easy capsule filling and tablet production.

Advantages
Red Yeast Rice Granular show significant advantages over other forms of red yeast products in a number of ways.
1 .Excellent processing properties
• Good flowability:
The granular form of red yeast rice bulk granules gives them good flowability during processing. Compared with powdered products, granules are less likely to form agglomerates during conveying, mixing and metering, and are easier to handle. This feature is particularly significant in large-scale industrial production, reducing clogging and waste during processing.
• Adaptability:
Red Yeast Rice Pellets can be adapted to different production needs in terms of particle size and density. Adaptable to a wide range of processing equipment and techniques. Its physical stability makes it perform well in mixing, tablet pressing, coating and other processes, and is not easy to produce delamination or pulverisation.
2. High product stability
• Antioxidant:
Red Yeast Rice Granules are treated by drying and moulding during the preparation process, which reduces the risk of oxidation during storage and use. The granular product has a lower surface area than the powdered product. It has less contact with air, which reduces the rate of oxidation.
• Extended shelf life:
Due to its granular form, red yeast rice granule is less likely to absorb moisture and clump together during storage, resulting in a relatively long shelf life. Especially in high humidity environments, the advantages of granular products are more prominent.
3 .More complete nutrient retention
• Reduce the loss of ingredients:
The relatively mild handling conditions of red yeast rice bulk granules during processing, such as lower drying temperature and short moulding time, help to maintain the integrity of its active ingredients. Compared to powdered products, granular products require less physical handling during production, so they lose fewer nutrients.
• High biological activity:
Due to the retention of nutrients, red currant, amino acids, vitamins and other ingredients in red currant rice granules are more biologically active and have relatively better utilisation in the human body. This makes its application in health products and functional foods more advantageous.
4. Wide range of application areas
• Food Industry:
Due to its natural pigment and unique nutrient composition, red yeast rice granules are widely used in the food industry, especially in the fields of bakery products, dairy products and condiments. The granular form is not only easy to add and use, but also brings unique texture and appearance to the food.
• Nutraceuticals sector:
In the nutraceutical market, red yeast rice particle is favoured for their high content of red yeast and other active ingredients. The granular form of the product facilitates the preparation of a wide range of dosage forms, such as pressed tablets and capsule filling, to meet the needs of different consumer groups.
• Pharmaceutical field:
The erythrulose in Red Yeast Rice particles have natural cholesterol-lowering properties and has been widely used in the preparation of drugs for regulating blood lipids. The granular form of the product is easy to distribute evenly in the drug formulation, ensuring the accuracy of each dose.
Red Yeast Rice Granules in Food
Red yeast rice granules have its rich nutrients and biological activities. It has been widely used in the food industry.
• Functional foods and dietary supplements
As a natural functional ingredient, red yeast rice bulk particle are widely used in functional foods and dietary supplements. They are commonly added to cholesterol-lowering foods, and cardiovascular health products. Due to its natural composition, red yeast rice granules are also ideal for consumers who are looking for a natural, non-pharmaceutical way to manage health issues.
• Natural Colour Additives
The natural pigments in red yeast rice are widely used in the colouring of food and beverages. Examples include pastries, ice creams, fruit juices, and more. It not only provides vibrant colours for food products, but also enhances the visual appeal of the products. At the same time it does not bring about health problems that may be caused by artificial colours.
• Fermented foods and flavourings
Red Yeast Rice is widely used in traditional Asian fermented foods. For example, miso and soy sauce in Japan. Chinese tempeh and fermented bean curd. Red Yeast Rice not only imparts a unique flavour to foods, but also extends their shelf life and improves their nutritional value.
• Baked goods and confectionery
Red Yeast Rice granules can be used as a functional ingredient in bakery products and added to products. Such as bread, cakes and biscuits. It can not only improves their nutritional value, but also to improve the colour and flavour of the products. It is also increasingly being used in confectionery to give it a natural colour and health benefits.
• Meat processing
Red yeast rice granules are also used in the processing of meat products. It can be used as a natural colouring and preservative. In meat products such as sausages and hams, red yeast rice gives the product a vibrant colour and enhances its organoleptic appeal, as well as helping to extend its shelf life.
