NATURAL RICE INGREDIENTS
According to Beneo, consumers — whether vegan, lactose-intolerant or following a “flexitarian” lifestyle — choose plant-based dairy alternatives because they are perceived to be healthier. Dairy-based products are known for their creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Natural and organic dairy alternatives aim to match these sensory profiles. Beneo’s rice ingredients offer the ideal plant-based solution to achieve a smooth, rich texture. The small particle size of rice starch mimics the sensation of fat on the tongue, enhancing the texture of dairy-free products. With a pure white color and no off-flavors, rice starch allows a clean flavor profile. Rice starch also boasts excellent stability, both in refrigerated and frozen products.
