Native Starches

Native Starches

Contact us   

Derived from sources such as maize, waxy maize, high amylose maize, wheat and tapioca; native starches are generally used for the purpose of food texturizing and thickening. They are insoluble in cold water and swell to different degrees depending on the temperature used. Native starches have very good thickening, gelling, moisture retention and anti-staling properties.

Native starches in action!

Our applications teams are constantly testing native starch potential by creating delicious, on-trend prototypes.
