Approximately 75 million tons of rice hulls are produced annually worldwide as a byproduct of rice milling. So, what are rice hulls rich in? Primarily, they are known for their high content of silica and tough lignocellulosic fibers, with other valuable compounds unlocked through various processing methods.

Trace amounts of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are naturally present in a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and milk. However, the XOS found in dietary supplements and functional foods are almost always industrially produced by extracting them from lignocellulosic biomass. This dual origin means XOS are both naturally occurring and commercially manufactured products.
