Pregelatinized Starches

In the news: Cargill invests in specialty roll-dried starches to increase sustainable production

Pregelatinizing gives native and stabilized starches the ability to form a cold-water paste. They develop viscosity without the need for heat, which means there is no need to pre-cook the starch. Pregelatinized starches retain most of the functional properties and viscosity of the original base material.

Our roll dried and spray-cooked starch solutions

Food starches are essentially insoluble in cold water. Our instant (modified) starches -produced either by roll-drying or by spray-cooking, are soluble in cold water. What’s more, they provide excellent (instant) viscosity and great heat, freeze-thaw and acid stability. Thanks to their water-binding properties, they can help stabilize and increase shelf life.
