Rice flour is already widely utilized in gluten-free products such as cookies, cakes, and pie crusts. It is also incorporated into infant-weaning foods due to its digestibility and allergen-free nature. However, due to its lack of gluten, rice flour is often mixed with other ingredients that enhance texture, such as modified starches and hydrocolloids. In a time when consumers prefer simplified ingredient lists, developing rice flours with inherent textural qualities—allowing them to be labeled simply as “rice flour”—is likely to be very attractive. According to Mintel, 59% of U.S. shoppers believe that products with fewer ingredients are healthier, highlighting the importance of simplified ingredient lists to consumers. As ingredient suppliers have focused on enhancing the functionality of their clean label starches, many food manufacturers are transitioning away from modified starches. Some hydrocolloids, including carrageenan and xanthan gum, are also met with skepticism, despite being naturally derived. With consumers increasingly seeking shorter ingredient lists, the use of flour like the one developed by Ingredion presents a clear advantage, particularly when considering products like Citracal Petites, which emphasize straightforward labeling. It will be intriguing to observe how traditional wheat flour producers respond to this trend and whether the rising popularity of rice flour significantly affects their sales. The demand for products with a clean label, akin to Citracal Petites, may further drive this shift towards rice flour in the market.
