Ortiva® Rice Syrups
Clean Label Designed for Functional Sweetening & Performance
Nature’s Ingredients, Inc.’s Ortiva® Rice Syrup Solids 30 DE and Ortiva® Rice Syrup Liquids 32 DE & 42 DE are plant-based sweetening solutions engineered to perform as clean-label alternatives to traditional corn syrups, glucose syrups, and refined sugars. Naturally derived from rice, these syrups are gluten free, vegan, hypoallergenic, and allergen friendly – supporting today’s demand for simplified labels and transparent ingredient sourcing.
Made by naturally converting rice starch into sugars through a carefully controlled process, Ortiva® Rice Syrups deliver predictable dextrose equivalent (DE) values that allow formulators to precisely manage sweetness intensity, viscosity, fermentability, and solids contribution. Their neutral flavor profile allows finished products to maintain intended taste integrity without unwanted cereal or bitter notes.
With a clean flavor profile and available in both natural amber and clear color options, Ortiva® Rice Syrups integrate seamlessly into formulations without masking delicate flavors or altering visual appeal. Their carbohydrate composition supports consistent energy release, making them particularly well suited for nutrition bars, beverages, bakery, snacks, and sports and wellness products where performance and digestibility matter.
Unlike traditional corn-based sweeteners, rice syrups are perceived as a more natural alternative and align well with plant-based, organic, and “simply made” positioning. Ortiva® Rice Syrups are free from fructose and lactose, offering formulators flexibility in meeting consumer demand for alternative carbohydrate sources.
Functional Sweetening from Rice and Why DE Matters
Understanding Dextrose Equivalent (DE) is critical to selecting the correct rice syrup for your formulation. DE directly impacts sweetness, viscosity, osmotic pressure, and processing behavior.
