Products and services

AVEBE starches provide an effective solution in many important noodle categories. In instant fried noodles applications, for example, PERFECTAMYL™ AC increases the rate of hydration and improves the shininess and slipperiness of the noodles. And ELIANE™ 100, an innovative Clean Label amylopectin potato starch, allows customers to cook at a lower water temperature, and provides excellent chewiness and long-lasting cohesive texture.

To meet the rigors of frozen shelf life, FARINEX™ AG 600 controls texture and enhances overall stability. SELECTAMYL™ D20 is the Clean Label starch of choice to replace mung bean starch in glass noodles due to its transparency, elastic texture and rapid hydration.

And pasta enriched with  HI-MAIZE® resistant starch  meets the low-glycemic needs of diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free.

Whatever your formulation challenges, Ingredion has the ingredients and expertise to solve your problem.
