| Popis: | Dietary therapy through a low-protein diet (LPD) has long been used for preserving the renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Reducing the amount of protein ingested from rice would make it possible to allocate the difference to side dishes, thereby improving the quality of meals and facilitating adherence to LPD. If it is possible to remove protein from rice, it would minimize the need to cut down on main dishes and make it easier for patients to follow the LPD. We developed exclusive technology for digesting and removing protein from rice grain using microorganism-derived enzyme product, and technology for processing the Low-Protein Rice (LPR) thus obtained into a palatable food product. By combining these technologies, we can reliably manufacture delicious, high quality, low protein rice product, which can be eaten repeatedly as staple. Our LPR products, "PLC Rice" series are helpful to enhance the quality of mealtimes for CKD patients by increasing their range of food choices. It is therefore reasonable to say that PLC Rice products offer high added value, as it not only facilitates adhesion to LPD but also add satisfaction and contentment to daily meals, helping to enhance the quality of life of patients with CKD. |
