Rice Syrup Solids
Matco's rice syrup solids are rice syrup in spray-dried powder form, available in conventional, certified organic and infant grades. They are gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan and hypoallergenic, and carry the same mild, malty sweetness and binding behaviour as the liquid syrup in a free-flowing dry format.\n Dry formulations cannot take a viscous syrup: it complicates dosing, upsets flow and shortens shelf life. Syrup solids solve that. They dissolve back readily in water, sweeten gently, add body and bulk, and keep dry blends flowing cleanly through filling lines, with the label declaration staying simple: rice syrup solids.
Rice Syrup Solids Product Range
Non-GMO Rice Syrup Solids
A convenient rice-based powder that brings mild sweetness, binding and body to dry blends, instant beverages and powdered nutrition products.
Infant Grade Rice Syrup Solids
Produced and tested against the tighter contaminant, residue and microbiological limits that infant formula and baby food require, with a Certificate of Analysis against the infant specification on every shipment. Also available certified organic.
Rice Syrup Solids (Conventional)
The standard food grade, in the same DE ranges, for manufacturers who need rice-based performance without organic certification.Grades

Frequently Asked Questions
Rice syrup that has been spray-dried into a fine, free-flowing powder. The sugar profile and sweetness stay essentially the same as the liquid syrup; only the format changes, which makes it usable in dry formulations where a syrup cannot go.
Both are dried rice-based carbohydrate powders, but syrup solids are converted further, so they are noticeably sweeter and behave as a sweetener. Maltodextrin stops short of that, staying bland and functional as a carrier and bulking agent.
Dry formulations cannot easily take a viscous liquid: it complicates dosing, disturbs powder flow and can shorten shelf life. Syrup solids give the same sweetness and binding in a powder that stores, ships and meters cleanly.
Yes, readily, in both hot and cold systems. That is the point of the ingredient: it reconstitutes back to syrup-like sweetness and body without lumping, which is why instant beverages rely on it.
Yes. Rice contains no gluten, and our process uses no animal-derived inputs. The powder is hypoallergenic and made from GMO-free rice, with no soy or corn carriers.
They are a nutritive sweetener derived from starch, so depending on your market's labelling rules part of the carbohydrate may need to be declared as sugars. Our specification sheet gives the sugar profile you will need for that calculation.
DE (dextrose equivalent) measures how far the rice starch has been converted to sugar. Lower DE means milder sweetness and more body; higher DE means more sweetness and faster dissolution. Syrup solids sit above 20 DE, which is what distinguishes them from maltodextrin.
Stored sealed in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, they typically keep 24 months. As a low-moisture powder the ingredient is microbiologically stable; the main storage risk is moisture pickup, which causes caking.
Yes. Sample quantities are available for lab evaluation, and we can provide more than one DE level for comparison in your system.
