Pure
Food Starches
PURE-DENT®
Pure Corn Starch
A natural, unmodified starch from common dent corn, PURE-DENT® offers high
viscosity and excellent gel strength at an economical price. This clean-flavored corn
starch is ideal for basic thickening properties in cooked puddings, sauces, salad
dressings, and pet foods.PURE-GEL® Stabilized Starches
Compared to other typical cook-up starches, PURE-GEL® modified starches
hydrate easily and impart high viscosity. These starches are designed to provide stable
viscosity in the presence of extended heat, acid, and shear conditions.
For processed meat applications, the PURE-GEL®
products provide excellent economic benefits including increased water-holding capacity,
moisture management, and improved yields at a reduced hydration temperature. In dairy
applications, the PURE-GEL® starches are utilized to suspend solids, enhance
mouthfeel, and provide a stable viscosity in refrigerated conditions.
PURE-GEL® products are easily hydrated
in high-fat sauce systems and provide steam table stability for gravies and sauces. For
thermally-processed fruit fillings, the low hot viscosity results in reduced back pressure
and better fruit integrity.
PURE-COTE®
Binding/Coating Starches
PURE-COTE® modified food starches are unique, low-viscosity starches that
provide excellent film-forming and adhesive properties. They form clear, flexible films
that are fast drying and flavor-free. They function as strong binders for seasonings on
snacks and cereals and as smooth, glossy coating agents for confections and baked goods.
INSTANT
PURE-COTE®
Modified Food Starches
INSTANT PURE-COTE®
modified starches are new starches designed specifically for
producing clear, flexible films without a cook-up step to hydrate the starch.
Finished coatings are water soluble, clear, and have good sheen. INSTANT
PURE-COTE®
works well in coatings for cereals, nuts, snacks, and confectionery applications.
Besides coatings, INSTANT PURE-COTE® can be used in a variety of food applications where
film-forming characteristics are important.
PURE-SET®
Thin-Boiling Starches
PURE-SET® food starches are modified to provide low viscosity during cooking.
This low hot paste viscosity allows high-solids confectionery products to be easily
deposited. PURE-SET® products can be cooked with sweeteners and water to a low
moisture content without becoming too viscous. A choice of gel strength and texture also
allows for use in other food applications such as cheese products which require strength
for grating without loss of integrity. PURE-SET® products serve as an
economical binder for emulsified meat products in a very price-competitive market.
INSCOSITY® Modified
Food Starches
INSCOSITY® modified food starches hydrate easily in both
hot or cold water without heating. They maintain a clean flavor,
ultrasmooth surface appearance with clarity and sheen, freeze-thaw and
steam table stability without syneresis.
