BENEO Offers Baby Food Rice Starches

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J.BENEO introduced new baby food rice starches as part of its rice starch portfolio, which is ideal for use in fruit- and vegetable-based jars and offers manufacturers functional rice ingredients for jarred baby food applications.

The naturally sourced texturizer qualifies for hypoallergenic, clean label, organic and non-GMO products. Test trials show that vegetable and fruit jarred baby food with BENEO's baby food rice starch have improved product stability in terms of viscosity, syneresis control and shelf life. The ingredient's small particle size creates a creamy texture without effecting the end product's taste or color. Rice is also highly digestible and thus well-suited for baby food applications.

The baby food rice starches have undergone in-depth assessment of production processes including extensive testing, meeting and exceeding industry and regulatory requirements.
