Consumers are developing a more balanced, discriminating view of carbohydrates and are more aware of the different types of carbohydrates that are in their foods. While they want better nutrition, they also want enticing textures and an occasional helping of indulgence. Processors want to deliver these benefits, but they need ingredients that provide functionality, easy processing, and sufficient shelf and refrigerator stability. With our wide range of functional fibers, resistant starches, texturizers and viscosifiers, supported by our exceptional technical service, National Starch can help you meet both your customers’ needs and your plant requirements.
We can help you create market successes with our unique portfolio of texturizers, viscosifiers, ingredient replacers and dietary fibers, combined with our experienced food and material scientists who apply their broad experience to your solution. Whether your goal is quality or process improvements, calorie reduction, fat or sugar replacement, whole grain content, fiber fortification, or a specific health benefit statement such as digestive health or glycemic management, we have a solution for you.
Our formulations experts can help you create better-for-you baked goods that taste great, deliver fine, uniform cell structures and work well within your manufacturing processes. We can make sure your fruit and dairy fillings look and taste great and withstand processing with our specialty starches that are industry standards, as well as with more recent innovations.
