Patents & Proprietary Technology

Since 1992, RIBUS has turned rice hulls and rice bran, the byproducts of rice milling, into clean label ingredients that perform. That work is built on patented processes and decades of proprietary know-how, much of it developed when these materials were still treated as waste.

Our patents protect what makes our ingredients different: how we stabilize, separate, process and grind rice-based materials so they work in place of synthetic additives, without the synthetic label. When you choose RIBUS, you’re working with the company behind the technology, and you get the consistency, traceability and technical support that come with it.

We keep innovating with formulation partners around the world. We protect that work through patents, trade secrets and licensing, and we enforce our patents to protect our customers and partners.
