OryzaMYL

Native Rice Starches for Texture and Process Performance

OryzaMYL is a range of natural rice starches with low (waxy), medium or high amylose content. Also, an organic version is available.

Rice starch is the main component of rice and a natural source of carbohydrates. An insoluble white powder consisting of both amylose and amylopectin, it differs from rice flour in its absence of the protein fraction.

Due to its structure, it is a possible fat replacer, for instance in dairy products. And, after heating it with water, it forms a gel with a smooth and creamy texture, neutral taste and clear white color, assuring preservation of the authentic taste and color of your food product.

Rice starch is therefore used in many applications, including baby foods, ready-to-eat meals, soups & sauces, cereals and cereal bars, confectionery coatings, organic food products and dairy products.

Additionally, it guarantees great digestibility, it is gluten, GMO and allergen free.

Frequently asked questions

Which OryzaMYL native rice starch should I use based on amylose content?

When selecting an OryzaMYL native rice starch, begin with the texture and processing behaviour required in your formulation. The range includes low-, medium- and high-amylose options, but amylose classification alone does not predict the finished result.

Compare the relevant grades using their pasting behaviour, viscosity profile, particle size and the structure required after heating and cooling. Then test the most relevant options under representative processing conditions, as dosage and interactions with other ingredients may change the outcome.

Ebro Ingredients can help to help evaluate or select a suitable starting grade for application trials.

Which OryzaMYL native rice starch should I use based on starch grade?

If particle profile may affect dispersion, powder handling or product structure, compare fine and coarse OryzaMYL native rice starch grades. OryzaMYL H90 provides a fine high-amylose option, while OryzaMYL H200 has a coarser particle profile.

Particle size should not be considered in isolation. Amylose profile, pasting behaviour, dosage and processing conditions may all influence the result. A representative trial should therefore compare dispersion, hydration, texture and process fit rather than assuming that two high-amylose grades are interchangeable.

Ebro Ingredients offers fine and coarse high-amylose rice-starch options. We can help evaluate or select the relevant particle profile and trial criteria.

How should I use the rheological profile of OryzaMYL native rice starch when selecting a grade?

Use the rheological information to shortlist the OryzaMYL native rice starch grades that best match your heating process and desired texture. The documented pasting temperature, peak viscosity and end viscosity help distinguish how the grades behave under standard test conditions.

These values are useful comparison criteria, but they do not establish the viscosity or texture that will be achieved in your recipe. Water level, shear, heating profile and other ingredients may alter performance. Compare the shortlisted grades in the intended formulation before deciding on dosage or technical equivalence.

Ebro Ingredients offers grade-specific rheological information. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help evaluate or select relevant viscosity and processing criteria.

How should I choose between OryzaMYL native rice starch and other rice flours?

Choose between OryzaMYL native rice starch and rice flour by first defining the ingredient function.

Rice starch is the separated starch fraction, whereas rice flour retains more of the original rice composition, including its protein fraction.

This difference may matter when you are targeting gel formation, a smooth texture or a low-protein ingredient profile. The ingredients are not automatically equivalent and should not be compared only at equal dosage. Test them against the same finished-product and processing criteria before selecting a replacement level.

As Ebro Ingredients offers both rice-starch and rice-flour options, do not hesitate to contact us to select the best ingredient technology that matches the required function.

What applications are most likely to benefit from OryzaMYL native rice starch?

Manufacturers often consider OryzaMYL native rice starch when they are looking to create a smooth texture, creamy mouthfeel, neutral taste and clean white appearance. It may be particularly relevant in applications such as dairy products, baby foods, ready-to-eat meals, soups and sauces, cereals, confectionery coatings and organic food products, where these characteristics are important.

The most suitable grade depends on the required texture, processing conditions and the target functionality within the finished product. Different amylose profiles and particle sizes can influence behaviour during processing and after cooking. These characteristics can help identify a suitable starting point, but they do not predict finished-product performance. For this reason, application trials remain the most reliable way to determine which grade best fits your requirements.

Ebro Ingredients can help you in optimising your formulations using our rice starches to get the best results. Feel free to get in contact.
