Clean label starch opportunities
15 Aug 2019 | Cargill
Cargill has expanded its SimPure line with the introduction of a new waxy corn-based starch. “The SimPure line is being launched to replace modified starches in the clean label space, while still offering a richer thicker texture that native starches cannot. Last year, we launched a potato-based line for mostly culinary and meat applications. The waxy corn-based solution opens up new application areas such as dairy and opportunities into retorted applications like canned soups and sauces,” says Shiva Elayedath at Cargill. The ingredient can still be labeled as “starch” and doesn’t have to be called “modified starch.” The company is looking to extend more into processed starches that work more in dairy and beverage.
