Optimize appeal with consumer-preferred labels
Ingredients and ingredient claims are the top-ranked attributes in the consumer purchase decision in North America, and 93% of consumers in the region report reading labels as often or more than they did two years ago. More, claims related to naturality and no additives are among the top drivers for switching brands.1 Labeled simply as “starch,” NOVATION® Indulge co-texturizing starches enable shorter ingredient statements when used in conjunction with other starches to create a simple ingredient list that consumers trust. These ingredients also support “natural/all natural” and “no artificial ingredient” packaging claims, which signal product quality.
Deliver nutritional improvements
NOVATION® Indulge co-texturizing starches are particularly relevant in the context of today’s reduced sugar, low-fat and dairy-free trends, where they can be used to successfully build back the desired creamy mouthfeel. As a fat replacement, these ingredients offer the functionality of a modified starch co-texturizer while helping you meet consumer demand for clean and simple labels.
Drive brand value and maximize profits
Product attributes like smoothness, richness and creaminess are highly influential factors in repeat purchase behavior, but the ingredients commonly used can represent a significant portion of formulation cost and are susceptible to fluctuation. NOVATION® Indulge co-texturizing starches replace fat, protein or other ingredients, providing manufacturers with reduced formulation costs. More, these ingredients enable natural/all natural packaging claims – for which 63% of consumers have expressed a willingness to pay an additional 5% or more – thereby providing manufacturers with the potential to increase revenue.
