What Riso Scotti Ingredients offers to the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries

Riso Scotti Ingredients, thanks to the expertise and know-how of the Italian leading rice mill Group, has developed some unique technologies and processes to produce food components that increase the healthy potential of the products derived from rice. The investments in several plants have been conspicuous: a new mill for the production of rice flours, a plant for the processing of the bran obtained from the bleaching phase of rice and plants for the separation of germ.

The Riso Scotti Ingredients production is extended to two major classes of products:

- products derived from the white rice milling  – such as flours with several kinds of granulometry, wholemeal and pregelatinised flours, which improve the plasticity and viscosity of various mixtures and enhance several alimentary characteristics;

- products designed to integrate foods with substances whose effects, as recognised in the scientific world, are necessary in suitable quantities to maintain or enhance the consumers' health conditions Of particular interest is the stabilised rice bran utilised to re-integrate those products lacking in fibre which has received important acknowledgements from the FDA. Last but not least, some of these products can be derived from the organic chain of production and therefore can be used for this kind of products.
