  MAISITA 21.057: Organic Waxy Maize Starch 
 

Properties

  • At temperatures of approx. 70°C., aqueous cook-up solutions of MAISITA 21.057 yield highly viscous, clear pastes with a clean taste which are resistant to syneresis.
  • Preparations thickened with MAISITA 20.057 have higher freeze/thaw stability.

Packaging

  • Multi-wall paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: min. 36 months from production.

Applications

  • pudding and dessert creams
  • baby food products
  • ready-to-eat dishes (prepared frozen/canned foods)

  QUEMINA 21.204: Organic Pre-gelatinized Corn Starch 
 

Properties

  • Dispersions of QUEMINA [21.204] yield opaque pastes with a high viscosity.

Packaging

  • Multi-ply paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 27 bags = 675 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 12 months from production.

Applications

  • pudding and confectionary creams (consistency, taste)
  • instant dough mixes (regulation of moisture content and consistency of dough)
  • baking products (improved duration of freshness)
  • baby food, instant products (easily digestible starch, a good binder, adds consistency)
  • baking fillings (improvement of consistency and water binding)
  • pancakes (improves binding throughout baking process)

  QUEMINA 21.207: Organic Pre-gelatinized Waxy Maize Starch 
 

Properties and Applications

  • Preparations using QUEMINA 21.207 can be accomplished without heat.
  • QUEMINA 21.207 yields clear, smooth pastes with high viscosity and long-textured structure.
  • Thickening properties can be reduced with application of shear force (from stirring units, pumps,circular reactors, etc.) and/or low pH values (< pH 4.5).
  • To facilitate easy stirring of QUEMINA 21.207 into water without forming lumps, mixing the starch with other dry components of the preparation beforehand is recommended.
  • Due to its excellent thickening capacity, QUEMINA 21.207 is particularly suitable for use in the neutral or slightly acidic range ( up to pH 4.5) in instant drinks and baby food products.

Packaging

  • Multi-ply paper bags with poly liner of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 24 months from production.

  AGENAJEL 21.055: Organic Stabilized Corn Starch 
 

Properties

  • Due to the use of a special process for the production of AGENAJEL 21.055, the tendency of retrogradation is reduced and the acid stability down to pH 3.0 is increased relative to native organic corn starch. Therefore, the syneresis is different finished products will be reduced.
  • In aqueous systems, AGENAJEL 21.055 gelatinizes at a temperature of approximately 70-80°r;C (depending on the pH value) and forms a viscous paste.

Packaging

  • Mult-iply paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 24 months from production.

Applications

  • ketchup (provides consistency and a smooth texture)
  • fruit preparations (stabilization)
  • soups and sauces (improves consistency)
  • prepared/canned/frozen foods (stabilizing, thickening)
  • baby foods (improvement of structure)

  STARKINA 20.001: Organic Potato Starch 
 

Packaging

  • Multi-ply paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 60 months from production.

Applications

  • dehydrated soups and sauces (improvement of water binding and consistency)
  • special meat products (taste and structure enhancement)
  • dumplings, noodles, pasta (improvement of consistency)
  • bread and other bakery products
  • snack foods (improves suitability for extrusion)

  STARKINA 20.002: Low Moisture Organic Potato Starch 
 

Properties

  • Due to its low moisture content (max. 6%), this starch is also hygroscopic making it useful as a water absorbent in dry mixes

Packaging

  • Multi-ply paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 36 months from production.

Applications

  • dehydrated soups and sauces (water absorbent)
  • powdered sugar (flow agent)
  • shredded cheese (for separation)

  QUEMINA 21.205: Organic Pre-gelatinized Potato Starch 
 

Properties

  • QUEMINA [21.205] has a high water binding capacity. This cold-soluble potato starch is therefore particularly suitable for applications in which a high-rate water absorption (without heating) and thickening is needed.

Packaging

  • Multi-ply paper bags of 25 kg (1 pallet = 30 bags = 750 kg)

Storage and Minimum Shelf-Life

  • If properly stored under dry conditions (max. 70% relative humidity) and well protected from heat: 12 months from production.

Applications

  • instant soups, sauces, gravy mixes (thickening agent)
  • instant dough mixes (regulation of consistency)
  • extruded food products (promotes even distribution of moisture and improves expansion)
  • baby foods (high viscosity with relatively low amounts of starch)
