OryzaNAT

OryzaNAT can be evaluated when you need a gluten-free rice-based ingredient, but wheat flour, purified starch and rice flour provide different compositional and functional profiles. A direct replacement ratio cannot be established from product information alone.

Compare ingredient declaration, protein fraction, particle size, hydration, viscosity and target structure before selecting a trial level. Finished-product suitability remains dependent on the formulation and process, so a controlled benchmark against the incumbent ingredient is required.

Ebro Ingredients offers grade-specific OryzaNAT product information and samples for evaluation where available. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help manufacturers compare functional requirements and incumbent-ingredient criteria.

Start with the particle-size range that best matches the processing method and desired product structure. Fine grades may be more relevant where dispersion and a less coarse texture matter, while coarse grades or rice semolina may be considered for extrusion, dusting or applications requiring larger particles.

Particle size is only one criterion: amylose profile, density, hydration and treatment may also influence behaviour. Compare the selected grade with the current flour and verify performance through a small-scale application trial.

Ebro Ingredients offers OryzaNAT grades across fine flour and semolina granulometries. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help manufacturers evaluate particle-size and process-fit requirements.

A heat-treated variant should be considered when microbiological limits, moisture, enzyme activity or powder handling are important to the application. Heat-treated OryzaNAT R grades have separate grade-specific specifications and should not be treated as automatically equivalent to the corresponding native grade.

The treatment may preserve many native-flour characteristics, but application behaviour still requires comparison under the intended process. Review the microbiological requirement first, then compare hydration, flow and finished-product performance in trials.

Ebro Ingredients offers native and heat-treated rice-flour variants with grade-specific information. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help manufacturers assess treatment level, microbiological criteria and process compatibility.

It is best to check the shelf life for the exact OryzaNAT grade, because this can differ between native, heat-treated and low-moisture variants.

You should also confirm whether internal warehousing conditions and stock rotation can meet those requirements. Shelf life does not by itself establish performance throughout a customer’s finished-product life.

Ebro Ingredients offers grade-specific storage and shelf-life information. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help with choosing the best solution.

Current packaging options include 25 kg bags, 1,000 kg big bags and bulk, but availability must be confirmed for the selected grade, destination and order.

It is also best to check intake, silo or bag-handling compatibility and whether packaging documentation meets internal requirements. We have a range-level for packaging, but availability can differ for specific products or orders.

Ebro Ingredients offers packaging information for individual OryzaNAT grades. Do not hesitate to contact us, as we have the expertise to help with grade identity, packaging and handling requirements.
