CWS Starches
The pre-gelatinization process provides the ability to form cold gel for native and/or modified starches. Thus, these starches provide products with viscosity without the need for cooking or high temperatures, which means that the food manufacturer does not need to precook the starch. Pre-gelatinized starches retain most of the functional properties and viscosity of the original base material.
For the categories of beverages, meats, convenience, dairy products and bakery, pre-gelatinized starches have their functionalities described below:
