What it is
Rice syrup solids are a sweetener made from cooked rice that has been broken down into simpler sugars. The process typically involves enzymes to convert the starches in rice into sugars, which are then dried into a powder. This results in a concentrated source of carbohydrates.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use rice syrup solids primarily as a sweetener and bulking agent. They provide sweetness and contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of foods. They are commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and some frozen desserts.
Health notes
Rice syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates and contribute to the overall sugar content of foods. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar carbohydrate-based sweeteners. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Rice syrup solids do not contain gluten.
