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 weight 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 be stored in vacuolar compartments of the cells.

With the increase in demand for rice protein in the market, oryzenin has become an essential ingredient in the food and beverage industries due to its high protein content and gelling properties. The texturing and emulsifying properties of oryzenin are also one of the major reasons 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.
