Brown rice syrup, also known as rice syrup or rice malt, is a sweetener which is rich in compounds categorized as sugars and is derived by steeping cooked rice starch with saccharifying enzymes to break down the starches, followed by straining off the liquid and reducing it by evaporative heating until the desired consistency is reached.
Brown rice syrup is also called rice malt syrup, rice syrup, or maltose syrup. It is made by cooking brown rice and exposing it to natural enzymes. These break down and turn the rice's starches into sugars (maltose, maltotriose, and glucose), and the resulting sweet liquid is then boiled and reduced down into a light brown syrup.
The syrup is often all-natural and organic. It contains no fructose or gluten, low levels of glucose, and has a high glycemic index. Vegans may prefer it to refined sugar, which is sometimes refined using bone char from animals.
