GMP Manufacture supply rice starch powder

What is it?

Rice starch is a natural polymeric carbohydrate and the main component of rice. In its native form it is an insoluble white powder consisting of both amylose and amylopectin. Just like rice it can differ greatly in composition and structure.
The difference with rice flour is the absence of the protein fraction.

Characteristics

Rice starch has a very fine granularity with granules having about the same size as fat globules, making it a possible fat replacer. After heating with water it forms a gel with a smooth and creamy texture.
Rice starch also has a neutral taste and clear white colour, assuring preservation of the authentic taste and colour of your food product.

Main advantages of rice starch:

• Neutral taste
• White colour
• transparent gel
• Soft creamy texture, possible fat replacer
• GMO-, gluten- and allergen free
• Great digestibility

Specification

Application

· Stabilizer and thickener

After gelatinization, rice starch has a certain viscosity, applicable in breakfast food / bakery / soup / jelly-type products such as yogurt. It plays an important part in stabilizing and thickening.

· Filling Agent and Carrier

Rice starch particle is the smallest among all natural starches. To be specific, the number of rice starch particles is three times as many as that of corn starch and ten times of potato starch under the same volume. For health care products and pharmaceuticals, the absorption of functional components per unit volume will be more, and the functional components in the liquid phase will be more evenly dispersed. Coupled with the high digestibility of rice starch, the final efficacy of drug will be substantially enhanced. In addition, it can also play a similar role as a carrier in spices industry

· Chemical Industry and Personal Care

Because of the small particles and polygonal features, rice starch can be very well absorbed and dispersed on the surface of material, filling the gap between materials, making the surface smoother, so it is widely used in the textile industry as sizing agent, paint industry as a corrosion-resistant organic dispersant, leather industry as surface polish. In addition, with its non-allergen, it is also an ideal ingredient for cosmetics/ personal care.
