Functional native starches
Clean labels go hand-in-hand with quality food products. Our clean label functional native starches can be added to simple ingredient listings because they're naturally derived without any chemical modification.
This line of non-GMO and minimally processed starches provides texture and stability in formulations like sauces, soups, and baked goods.
Modified starches
Modified starches are altered to enhance their functional properties and maximize stability both on the shelf and in the freezer.
Depending on the type of food product, benefits can include enhanced thickening, gelling, and freeze-thaw stability.
Additionally, starches are an essential part of creating quality textures, such as consistency and sheen.
