What is Tasty Rice Life Pro?
Tasty Rice by Life Pro is a pre-gelatinized and pre-cooked rice cream or flour.
Life Pro rice cream is characterized by maintaining all the properties and nutrients of rice, while allowing you to enjoy this magnificent source of carbohydrates without the need to cook.
Unlike other rice flours, Tasty Rice can be mixed directly with water or milk and consumed. It does not require cooking.
The pre-gelatinization process to which the rice has been subjected, with the aim of improving its texture, results in a very thick and creamy consistency once it is mixed.
Its characteristics
Tasty Rice is a new way to obtain carbohydrates from rice with a higher absorption and hydration rate.
To obtain this food, only natural rice is used, which is subjected to a specific process called pre-gelatinization that transforms it.
During pre-gelatinization, the rice grains are cooked with the aim of modifying the structure of the traditional starch granule.
What are the benefits of pre-gelatinization?
- High water absorption rate
- High viscosity when cold and low viscosity when hot => “instant” products
- Providing a creamy and smooth texture in final applications
- Reduction of fat content without affecting sensory properties
- Prevention of syneresis
- Partial or complete replacement of hydrocolloids
- Thickening function: Partial or complete replacement of thickeners such as guar gum, gellan gum, tara gum, modified starches, … both cold and hot.
- Co-emulsifying function
- Elimination of anti-nutritional factors and mitigation of the bitter taste of legumes and ancient grains
- Enzyme inactivation: minimization of amylase activity => Stable viscosity
- Reduction of microbiological load
What are the properties of Tasty Rice?
- Glycemic index: pre-gelatinized Tasty Rice is a source of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index. The carbohydrates it contains are rapidly absorbed by the body.
