Rice Starch
Native Starch for Smooth Texture and Light Colour
Rice starch is a native starch separated from the rice grain and has the smallest granule size of all starches (2–8 microns). This fine structure gives a smooth, creamy texture and neutral taste, and it is used in light-coloured dairy products, desserts, convenience foods, sauces, bakery and dusting coatings. It is a candidate to replace modified starches in clean-label formulations. PERDIST compares starch purity, moisture, viscosity behaviour, residual protein and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale rice starch requests and offers gluten-free-declared options with their documents. For wholesale rice starch the viscosity expectation, moisture and application are taken before the quotation, and a sample with the analysis document is shared. For dairy dessert, sauce and gluten-free producers, packaging and delivery frequency follow the production plan. Repeat shipments are planned on the same specification.
