Rice starch

Other names: Rice starch, Oryza sativa starch

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Rice starch, also known as rice starch or oryza sativa starch, is a natural polysaccharide extracted from rice. Rice is most commonly grown in Asia and is one of the most important crops in the world. This starch has many properties that make it popular in the manufacture of various products. Its simplest and most common use is in the food industry. Because of its ability to thicken, it is used in the production of sauces, ice creams, baby food, soups and so on.

In addition to the food industry, rice starch is also used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It is popular in cosmetics due to its emollient properties, which means that it softens and soothes the skin. It is therefore often used in powders, make-up, creams and other skin products. In the pharmaceutical industry, rice starch is used to produce tablets, capsules and other dosage forms, either as a filler or as a thickener. Its ability to release drugs in a controlled manner also plays an important role here, leading to increased effectiveness of drug formulations.
