Starch is a versatile carbohydrate polymer derived from plant sources, including wheat grains, potato tubers and corn kernels.
Starch is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications as a thickener, stabiliser and binding agent.
Carrageenan uses:
Thickens & Stabilises - for use in liquid and semi-solid formulations
Mouthfeel Enhancement - improves texture of edible products
Binding Agent - used in tablets, adhesives and coatings
Film Formation - provides a coating for tablets
Moisture Retention - prevents dryness in various applications
We supply Wheat Starch, Potato Starch and Maize (Corn) Starch, with different plant sources, each offers unique functional properties that are suited to different applications:
- Wheat Starch - commonly used to modify viscosity/elasticity and thicken in bakery, processed foods, pharmaceutical excipients
- Potato Starch - typically used as a thickening, stabilising and gelling agent in dairy products, sauces, soups, paper, textiles, adhesives
- Corn / Maize Starch - widely used as a stable thickening agent in beverages, confectionery, industrial coatings, biodegradable packaging
We offer various Starch grades to suit different application needs, including native and modified variants. For advice on the right product, please call our team for guidance.
