The versatility of rice and rice products has led to uses in a diverse array of food products, from breakfast cereals and snack foods through to smallgoods and confectionery. Furthermore rice possesses nutritional benefits and unique functional properties, making it an essential ingredient within the global food industry. Besides its nutritional advantages, rice has the additional benefits for manufacturers of having a very small starch granule and is therefore able to produce smoother, creamier textures.
Small wonder that producers of manufactured foods in a wide range of categories – from breakfast cereals to smallgoods, snack foods to pet foods, convenience foods to confectionery – are looking more and more to rice for new ideas, new technologies and new levels of service and support.
