Rice products are cereal-derived ingredients used in industrial food and beverage manufacturing to provide mild cereal flavour, natural sweetness, soluble solids and versatile formulation characteristics. Their relatively neutral sensory profile makes rice ingredients particularly suitable for plant-based beverages, dairy alternatives, nutritional drinks, bakery products, confectionery, desserts and other industrial food applications.
Rice Concentrates and Hydrolysed Plant-Based Ingredients
Rice concentrate is suitable for formulations requiring a mild cereal flavour, controlled sweetness and consistent soluble solids. Its relatively neutral taste profile makes it a versatile ingredient for rice drinks, plant-based beverages, dairy alternatives, nutritional formulations and food products where pronounced cereal notes are not desired.
Hydrolysed rice ingredients are produced through processes that convert part of the rice starch into smaller carbohydrates, providing formulation flexibility for sweetness, viscosity and soluble solids. Depending on the specific grade, rice concentrates can contribute body, texture and carbohydrate content to beverages and food applications. Rice-based ingredients can also be combined with oat, malt and other plant-derived ingredients to create customised beverage bases and alternative dairy formulations.
Choose the Right Rice Ingredient for Your Application
Selecting the most suitable rice ingredient depends on the finished product's target Brix, sweetness, flavour intensity, viscosity, carbohydrate composition, texture and processing conditions.
