Organic Rice Syrup Solids and Rice Maltodextrins

As consumer demand for all things organic continues to grow, manufacturers must keep pace by offering a variety of high-quality, convenient, organic food products. A new line of organic rice maltodextrins, as well as rice syrup solids, from Grain Processing Corporation can help with these development efforts.

MALTRIN OR™ organic rice maltodextrin, like traditional maltodextrin, serves a critical role in many food applications, contributing to improved product quality and shelf life. Available in a range of DEs, products in the line include R120 and R170 maltodextrins, and the recently introduced R230, an organic rice syrup solid. All MALTRIN OR ingredients are certified organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI), San Diego. Processed by enzyme conversion and spray drying, the end product is a white powder with a clean flavor and minimal sweetness.

MALTRIN OR organic rice maltodextrins and rice syrup solids work in a variety of applications. Ice cream and other frozen desserts benefit from enhanced body and texture, and the products can also increase solids without adding excessive sweetness or freezing-point depression. In sports beverages and nutrition bars, the ingredients provide a good source of carbohydrates with a clean flavor profile and low osmolality. In addition, these products improve mouthfeel and body, moderate sweetness, and demonstrate clarity in both prepared beverages and dry mixes. MALTRIN OR ingredients can add a chewy texture and improve shelf life in healthy snacks like fruit snacks and granola bars. They can also function as a carrier for flavors and spices in snacks and cereals. The bland flavor, low hygroscopicity and high solubility of MALTRIN OR organic rice maltodextrins and rice syrup solids make them ideal for spray drying flavors, colors and fruit juices.

For frozen desserts and healthy snack applications, 5% to 9% usage rates are typical. For beverages, nutritional products and spray drying, where the MALTRIN OR line can be used as a bulking agent, calorie source and carrying agent, usage levels can be much higher and are product-specific.
