GoodMills Innovation: Masa Flours Hold Potential in Tortilla Chips

15 Apr 2015 --- At this year’s SNACKEX in Istanbul, GoodMills Innovation will introduce its snacking solutions, which are marketed under the SNACKMAXX brand. Masa flours offer excellent processing properties for the production of tortilla chips and taco shells, while individual pre-mixes are ideal for coated and extruded snacks.

Wafer ingredients complement the snacks range, enabling the creation of wafers in versatile forms and textures. All SNACKMAXX products are free from additives.

GoodMills Innovation’s non-GMO masa flours are perfect for tortilla chips and taco shells. Because they are processed using a special dry milling technology, the dough has excellent machineability and does not stick to equipment surfaces. Particle distribution is homogenous and a uniform viscosity ensures consistent dough quality.

In the field of coatings, the company scores with its huge variety of different pre-mixes for snack coatings, both savory and sweet. All varieties are based on starch and thermally treated flours and can be flavoured individually. Offering a wealth of product solutions, the pre-mixes can be adjusted to deliver soft, crispy or strong bite properties. The innovative processing methods used in their production means that the pre-mixes can optimise surface adhesion and contribute to reduced oil absorption and calories as well as appealing textures.

For extruded and coated snacks, GoodMills Innovation offers an “on demand” service whereby it produces tailor-made pre-mixes according to customers’ specifications. With its long-standing expertise in this field, the company ensures that the pre-mixes that are composed of several physically treated flours retain their homogeneity during transport and filling processes.

Last but not least, GoodMills Innovation will showcase its new wafer ingredients. These can be used to create versatile products such as flat and hollow wafers and ice cream cones. As well as leading to an appealing golden-yellow colour, the ingredients are free from additives and gluten, so they fit in perfectly with the current “free-from” trend.
