Walk any formulation floor today, and you’ll hear the same three questions on repeat: Is it clean-label? Is it sustainably made? And can you actually prove it? At Fi India 2026, Starizo (Thiru Mavadi Bio Energy Pvt Ltd) is answering all three at once, with a portfolio of 14 rice-derived ingredients built on a manufacturing footprint that runs on Zero Liquid Discharge, delivers measurable carbon-neutral outcomes, and gives R&D teams the functional performance they can’t compromise on.

If you’re formulating in food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharma, or even brewing, this is the ingredient conversation you’ll want to have before the show floor gets busy. Catch the full lineup at Stand 3C28, Hall 3.

Why ZLD and Carbon Neutral Aren’t Just Buzzwords Anymore

Here’s the shift that’s happening whether formulators say it out loud or not: sustainability credentials have moved from “nice to have” to “non-negotiable line item” in supplier scorecards. Procurement teams are asking about water usage before they ask about price. Brand owners are asking about ZLD compliance before they ask about MOQs. And that’s exactly the gap Starizo built its facility to close.

Every ingredient in this portfolio comes from a zero-liquid-discharge production system, meaning process water is treated and recycled back into the loop rather than released as effluent. Pair that with a carbon-neutral manufacturing approach, and you’ve got a supplier story that doesn’t need embellishment on a pack claim; it’s structurally true from the first stage of processing. For clients chasing ESG targets, that’s not a marketing checkbox, it’s the reason the conversation starts in the first place.

The Lineup: 14 Ingredients, One Non-GMO Rice Base

Starches and Structuring Agents

Rice Starch anchors the range – a clean-label, hypoallergenic, non-GMO powder that’s odourless and neutral-tasting, with cross-industry pull into food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, textile, and paper applications. Sitting alongside it are Modified Rice Starch RS3 and Modified Rice Starch RS4, engineered variants for formulators who need resistant-starch functionality without sacrificing the clean-label story.

Proteins for the Plant-Based Shift

Rice Protein Concentrate and Rice Protein Hydrolysate cover both ends of the protein spectrum – one a cream-to-light-brown powder suited to food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical systems, the other a finer, more bioavailable hydrolysate for applications demanding faster functionality. Both check the hypoallergenic, non-GMO, biodegradable boxes that plant-protein buyers are actively screening for right now.

Maltodextrins, Syrups, and Sweetening Solutions

This is where the portfolio gets deep. Soluble Rice Maltodextrin and Rice Maltodextrin (whole-grain) deliver mild sweetness and formulation versatility from partially hydrolyzed carbohydrate chains. Rice Dried Glucose Syrup brings that same functional backbone into powder form for dry-blend applications. On the liquid side, Rice Glucose Syrup and Classified (Clarified) Rice Syrup are colourless, high-viscosity syrups built for confectionery, bakery, and beverage systems, while Rice Derived IMO rounds things out as a low-calorie prebiotic sweetener, a category nutraceutical brands can’t seem to get enough of lately.

Built for Brewing

Rice High Maltose Syrup and Rice Maltose Brewer Syrup are where Starizo’s technical depth really shows. The brewer’s grade is available in clarified and brown variants, giving brewers precise control over final gravity, mouthfeel, and visual profile, while avoiding glucose catabolite repression and supporting balanced high-gravity brewing. It also bypasses mashing bottlenecks and cereal-cooking steps entirely, which is a real efficiency win for brewhouses under capacity pressure. And because it’s gluten-free and hypoallergenic at the source, it slots neatly into the allergen-conscious beverage category too.

Fibre and Functional Actives

Rice Fibre is a bright white, ultra-fine powder (10–30 μm) carrying up to 90–97% pure dietary fibre, milled from the rice hull and bran layer. It’s a genuine multi-category ingredient – gluten-free baking, texture modification, calorie reduction, dietary supplements, skincare, drug formulation, even pet food and plant care. Rice Arabinoxylan closes out the list as a bioactive-rich fibre ingredient with immune-modulating, prebiotic, and complementary cancer-support applications – a functional-food formulator’s ingredient if there ever was one.

Where Client Demand Is Actually Heading

Talk to enough procurement and R&D teams and a pattern emerges fast: clients aren’t just asking “does this ingredient work?” anymore, they’re asking “can you prove where it came from and what it cost the planet to make?” That’s precisely why ZLD and carbon neutral credentials keep surfacing at the top of supplier evaluation criteria, ahead of even price in some categories. Starizo’s answer is to build sustainability into the plant itself, not bolt it on after the fact, which means every one of these 14 ingredients carries that story natively, whether it lands in a nutraceutical capsule, a craft beer, or a cosmetic serum.
