Rice-Based Snack Pellets

Rice snack pellets need controlled starting geometry to expand into repeatable shapes and densities. Because puffing response also depends on process conditions, developers should separate pellet uniformity from the actual expansion window during scale-up.

What can we help you achieve?

• Allergen-free
  A carefully developed free-from approach can make snacks accessible to more consumers while retaining familiar eating quality.

• Versatile shapes
  A versatile formulation route can support more product concepts without starting development from scratch.

• Consistent expansion
  More predictable puffing can improve density, piece shape and finished bite from batch to batch.
