Beneo (Parsippany, NJ) launched a precooked, clean-label functional native rice starch, Remypure S52 P. It offers food manufacturers soft, creamy textures and excellent product stability, including harsh processing conditions such as shear and acid, as with dressings, sauces and dips, bakery fillings, and dairy desserts.

“With the increasing demand from consumers for transparent product labels, we are always looking for ways to help our customers meet these market demands,” said Benoit Tavernier, product manager specialty rice ingredients at BENEO, in a press release. “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, while giving an additional creamy aspect to the texture of the end product. 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.”

In taste trials, Remypure S52 P performed well in spoonable dressings, ranch dips, and bakery creams, mainly regarding the recipes’ creamy textures and stability.
