Rice Syrup

Rice Syrup:

Rice Syrup, sometimes referred to as Brown Rice Syrup, Rice Malt Syrup or simply, Glucose Syrup, is a vegan and gluten-free functional sweetener that is used in a variety of applications. At Shafi Gluco Chem our Rice Syrup is available in two variants. Brown Rice syrup, is a caramel to light amber coloured syrup that is made from Brown Rice. And Clarified Rice Syrup is a clear to a pale-coloured syrup that is made from White Rice. With light buttery and honey flavour notes, Rice Syrup is one of the healthiest sugar substitutes available.

The mixture is then filtered to separate the solids from the liquid. Once filtered the solution is then boiled to evaporate the moisture until a thick, viscous consistency of the syrup is reached.
