Rice starch is a type of starch that is extracted from rice grains. It is a carbohydrate-based powder that consists of small granules. Starch is the primary energy storage molecule in plants, and it serves as a source of nutrition for humans as well. Rice starch is obtained by processing rice grains, typically by washing, grinding, and separating the starch from other components such as protein, fiber, and fats. The resulting starch is a white, odorless, and tasteless powder. Rice starch is characterized by very small granules in the range of 2-8 μm, being much smaller than those of other cereals, tubers and roots, such as corn and potato. Its granule size is comparable to the size of fat globules, therefore ideally suited to mimic a full bodied fatty mouthfeel. It provides creamy textures and can serve as natural fat replacer.

The rice starch market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing consumer demand for clean-label, gluten-free, and plant-based products. Its versatility and functional properties make it a preferred ingredient in various industries. In the food and beverage sector, rice starch is valued for its ability to enhance texture, stability, and shelf life in products like soups, sauces, bakery items, and dairy alternatives. Its hypoallergenic nature and neutral taste also make it suitable for infant foods and gluten-free formulations. Beyond food, rice starch finds applications in pharmaceuticals as a binder and disintegrant in tablets, and in cosmetics for its oil-absorbing and skin-soothing properties. The growing emphasis on natural and sustainable ingredients further propels its adoption across these sectors.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific dominates the rice starch market, benefiting from abundant rice production and a strong food processing industry. Countries like China and India contribute significantly to both rice cultivation and starch manufacturing. North America and Europe are also notable markets, driven by the rising prevalence of celiac disease and a growing preference for clean-label products. The cosmetics and personal care industries in these regions are increasingly incorporating rice starch into formulations, aligning with consumer trends toward natural and organic ingredients. Ongoing research and development efforts aim to expand the applications of rice starch, including its use in biodegradable materials and as a sustainable alternative in various industrial processes.
