Following in-depth assessment of production processes, including extensive testing, the company says its baby food rice starch ‘meets and exceeds industry and regulatory requirements’.
The new product range also offers a wide range of nutritional and technical benefits to manufacturers. The naturally sourced texturiser qualifies for hypoallergenic, clean label, organic, as well as non-GMO products.
Test trials have shown that vegetable and fruit jars with Beneo’s baby food rice starch have improved product stability in terms of viscosity, syneresis control and shelf-life.
“With a strong heritage in rice starches, Beneo rice derivatives are used worldwide as hypoallergenic texturisers from nature to improve the mouthfeel, shelf life and structure of food products,” said Pierre Donck, product manager rice derivatives at Beneo. “Thanks to our stringent production processes and testing procedures, there is no limit to the age at which consumers can benefit from the technical and nutritional advantages of our rice starches.”
