What it is

Dehydrated rice syrup, also known as rice syrup solids, is made from rice. The rice is cooked, enzymes are added to break down its starches into sugars, and then the water is removed through evaporation. This process results in a concentrated, powdered sweetener.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dehydrated rice syrup primarily as a sweetener and bulking agent. Its mild flavor and light color make it suitable for a wide range of products, including baked goods, cereals, snack bars, and confectionery. It can also contribute to texture and shelf stability.

Health notes

Dehydrated rice syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates, primarily glucose. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for dehydrated rice syrup are not widely publicized. As with any concentrated sugar source, excessive consumption can contribute to caloric intake and potential health concerns associated with high sugar diets.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. Dehydrated rice syrup is not derived from any of these allergens. It is also gluten-free.
