Rice-Based Snack Pellets

Rice snack pellets need controlled starting geometry to expand into repeatable shapes and densities. Because puffing response also depends on process conditions, developers should separate pellet uniformity from the actual expansion window during scale-up.

What can we help you achieve?

  • Allergen-free
    A carefully developed free-from approach can make snacks accessible to more consumers while retaining familiar eating quality.

  • Versatile shapes
    A versatile formulation route can support more product concepts without starting development from scratch.

  • Consistent expansion
    More predictable puffing can improve density, piece shape and finished bite from batch to batch.

Our Recommended Ingredient Solution

  • OryzaPEARL
    This ingredient is the first recommended option for this formulation. These 100% rice-flour pellets are purpose-designed for puffing and provide a uniform starting size and shape, supporting consistent expansion and smooth-surfaced puffed products.

Of course no two formulations are alike and your best choice may also depend on factors beyond pure functionality. Let us help you find the ingredient solutions that best fit your application, with specifications, samples and recipe support when available.
