Penford Food Ingredients Co. introduces Rice Starch
Initial introduction includes a variety of unmodified and modified rice starches.
28/07/05 Penford Food Ingredients Co., a premier carbohydrate company for the processed food industry, has announced that it has added a variety of rice starches to its current portfolio of potato, tapioca, and corn starch products.
Penford’s initial introduction includes a variety of unmodified and modified rice starches. These starches conform to non-GMO standards meeting European Regulations for use in food. The addition of rice starch to the Penford portfolio builds upon the company’s strategy to be a premier carbohydrate company for the processed food industry.
Compared to other commercial starches, rice possesses an ultra-fine particle size that translates into a smoother and creamier texture. In its native state, rice starch offers a broader range of uses versus other comparable products. Superior freeze thaw stability, high moisture retention, and a clean taste are a few of the primary benefits of rice starch.
Penford Food Ingredients Corporation (PFI), a subsidiary of Penford Corporation, is a premier carbohydrate company providing the processed food and nutraceutical industries with specialty starches, dextrose and dextrin.
