Convenient, additive-free, wholesome and organic
Consumers today are increasingly seeking convenient, additive-free, wholesome and organic foods of restaurant or home-made quality, prepared with recognised and trusted ingredients. National Starch Food Innovation is at the forefront of this trend. Our expanding portfolio of nature-based ingredients makes it easier for food processors to meet consumer expectations. These highly functional, nature-based and organic products enhance the quality of prepared foods, delivering the premium quality and texture modern consumers demand while withstanding the rigours of modern food processing.
Nature-based functionality
National Starch Food Innovation’s award-winning Novation® range – the world’s first functional native starches – has been helping food processors around the world create satisfying, wholesome foods with ’cleaner’ ingredient labels. Novation starches deliver modified starch performance without compromise and with a simple ’starch’ label.
Today, the Novation portfolio includes waxy maize, tapioca and potato bases, along with organic varieties and the Prima range for added freeze/thaw and cold storage stability. The result: you now have the option to position your product as clean label, ‘organic’ or ’wholesome’ without compromising quality or sacrificing processing performance. Novation starches are ideal for ready meals, sauces, gravies, fruit preparations, dressings, yogurts, desserts, baby foods and many other applications.
Making flour functional
Chefs appreciate flour for its contribution to taste, texture, appearance and overall consumer appeal. However, flour can cause problems due to its inability to withstand rigorous food processing conditions and extended storage requirements. That’s why we partnered with Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients to create the HOMECRAFT® range of clean label speciality flours and CREATIVE TEXTURE SOLUTIONS®.
The HOMECRAFT® range enables a simple, consumer-friendly label declaration. It gives a natural, rich and luxurious appearance, indulgent, smooth texture, creamy mouthfeel and authentic flavour to prepared foods. Process and end product variability are reduced. Processing times and batch-to-batch consistency are improved.
