Beneo unveils instant functional rice starch for clean-label applications

Beneo has launched a new pre-cooked functional native rice starch for clean label food applications, such as dressings and dairy desserts.

Remypure S52 P is available now across the globe, meeting the trends for transparent and simple labels. It comes after the launch of Remypure S52 in 2018, but offers a pre-cooked version to extend the Remypure product portfolio.

The ingredients manufacturer said it is the first instant functional native rice starch that enables food manufacturers to produce clean label applications, including cold pressed sauces and bakery fillings.

Beneo claims its new ingredient delivers soft and creamy textures and excellent product stability. According to Beneo, Remypure S52 P has the ability to maintain functionality and withstand acidity and/or high shear conditions, which is common in the preparation of applications like dressings, sauces and dips.

Beneo says its pre-cooked starch performs just as well as modified starches in cold processing conditions that involve low pH and/or high shear.

“Remypure S52 P has been developed for food producers searching for an instant clean label texturizer for food preparations that can withstand harsh process conditions, whilst giving an additional creamy aspect to the texture of the end product,” said Benoit Tavernier, product manager specialty rice ingredients at Beneo.

He added: “It is the first rice starch of its kind on the market for this type of application and has already been well received in a range of taste tests. With the now extended Remypure range of functional native rice starches, Beneo is well set to support existing and potential new customers in their development process of various new clean label products.”
