StarchPlus™ rice starches are unique products prepared without the use of alkali. By retaining a portion of the endosperm's native protein, we are able to offer starches that disperse readily and that exhibit gel properties that may contrast with alkali extracted rice starches. StarchPlus™ SPR is a short texture starch made from medium grain rice. It is most frequently used in pudding or sauce formulations where its short texture and very bland flavor prove advantageous. Applications include aseptically packaged puddings and beverages. SPR can also provide excellent acid stability in many applications.
