Clean-Label Ortiva® Rice Syrups
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.
Produced through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of rice starch, 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 naturally neutral flavor profile and light color, Ortiva® Rice Syrups integrate seamlessly into formulations without masking delicate flavors. 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:
Selecting the Right Rice Syrup for Optimal Performance
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.
