Wholesome image

We know from consumer research that "wholesome" and "better for you" foods are in high demand. But with their busy lives, consumers still want the convenience of prepared foods. Our NOVATION® range of clean-label starches enables food manufacturers to meet consumer demand for wholesome, convenient foods.

A taste for success
|
Together we can listen to consumers and find success. Here's an example that shows how.
A major U.S. retailer was making its own line of yogurt products. But we thought a different formulation would reduce the retailer's costs and improve texture. We carried out consumer trials against the leading national brand and prototype alternatives.
Our customer was impressed with the improved consumer perception of the prototypes and agreed to move forward with further trials. So we reformulated the customer's yogurt line using its processing system. When the reformulated product hit the shelves, purchase intent grew and the retailer outscored the market leader on key textural attributes. We ended up optimizing 14 yogurt varieties in four months.

Combining claims
|
Touting your product's health benefits is a good thing. But just like having the right ingredients, a product should offer the right combination of claims to attract consumers. Ingredion can help you identify the claims that add value to your products.
Across all categories, consumers are increasing their consumption of foods with dietary fiber. Hi-maize® resistant starch offers manufacturers simple ways of tapping into the value of healthy claim combinations. We can help you customize recipes to achieve the optimum combination of marketable benefits.

The gender divide
|
|
When it comes to food, men and women practically live on different planets. They have distinct eating habits and attitudes, and different nutritional and physiological requirements.
Gender marketing - focusing on the different needs of men and women when developing and marketing products - can help you formulate products that satisfy both. At National Starch, our portfolio of specialty starches can help you fulfill these needs.
