January 1, 2011/Prepared Foods Magazine -- Ribus, makers of specialty ingredients and a leader in rice (bran and hull) utilization, has ingredients that offer a rare combination of cost savings and label friendliness that gives products a strategic and competitive advantage in a wide variety of applications. The company's NuBAKEÆ line delivers the necessary functionality for baking products; Nu-FLACÆ is a flavor carrier that replaces maltodextrin or other carriers as a non-soluble plating substrate; and Nu-FLOWÆ effectively replaces silicone dioxide (and other synthetics) in systems requiring anti-caking or flow aids. All are available as natural or organic, and no allergen statement is required. Ribus Inc., info@ribus.com, 314-727-4287, www.ribus.com
