OryzaMAX

Many manufacturers are exploring alternatives to maltodextrin because they are looking for a more recognisable and consumer-friendly ingredient solution. OryzaMAX soluble rice flour offers the functionality of a carrier ingredient while supporting a rice-based and clean-label positioning.

Unlike many traditional carrier ingredients, OryzaMAX combines very low viscosity, excellent dispersibility and carrier functionality in a rice-flour format. It can therefore be evaluated in beverages, flavour systems, seasonings and liquid-to-powder applications where manufacturers want to maintain functionality while moving towards a more recognisable ingredient declaration.

In documented application trials, OryzaMAX M250 also demonstrated promising results regarding powder flowability, carrier performance and reduced caking tendency under specific test conditions. The most suitable solution will always depend on the application, formulation and processing requirements, which is why comparative trials remain essential.

Ebro Ingredients offers hands-on support for clean-label reformulation projects. Do not hesitate to contact us.

If you want to increase solids or introduce carrier functionality without substantially thickening your product, OryzaMAX soluble rice flour provides a practical formulation option. Its very low viscosity profile makes it particularly relevant to beverages, liquid concentrates, flavour carriers and systems that need to remain drinkable, pumpable or sprayable.

The final viscosity will still depend on dosage, total solids, temperature, shear, hydration and interactions with other ingredients. Product characteristics can guide the starting point, but performance should be confirmed under your intended processing conditions.

Ebro Ingredients offers grade-specific OryzaMAX technical information. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help you optimise viscosity, solids loading and process fit.

Choose between these rice-flour technologies by deciding whether your formulation should remain fluid or develop viscosity.

OryzaMAX soluble rice flour is designed for carrier, solids-contribution and dispersion requirements with limited viscosity development.

OryzaGEL pregelatinised rice flour is more relevant when cold-water absorption and viscosity building are required.

The two technologies are not technically equivalent and should not be compared only at equal dosage. Evaluate the relevant grades under representative conditions, focusing on hydration, viscosity, texture, processing behaviour and the desired finished-product characteristics.

Ebro Ingredients offers both soluble and pregelatinised rice-flour solutions. We can help you in selecting the technology that best supports your formulation objective.

If you want to add solids to a dairy- or plant-based UHT drink while maintaining a drinkable consistency, OryzaMAX soluble rice flour provides a promising low-viscosity solution to evaluate. It may be particularly relevant when replacing or reducing maltodextrin without intentionally building substantial body or thickness.

Select an initial trial level based on the ingredient’s required function and compare it with your current formulation. Focus on heat and shear stability, sedimentation, mouthfeel, drinkability, flavour and behaviour during filling and storage. The appropriate dosage must be established under representative UHT conditions.
