Technical Document
Rice Starch is a carbohydrate extracted from rice (Oryza sativa), primarily from the endosperm of the rice grain. It is a fine, white, odorless powder that is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor, excellent thickening properties, and suitability for a wide range of food applications. Rice starch is highly valued for its ability to form smooth, transparent gels when hydrated and for its mild texture, making it an ideal ingredient for various food formulations, particularly in gluten-free and sensitive-diet products.
