NOVATION PRIMA® 300 functional native starch has excellent process tolerance. It performs in food processes where traditional native starches cannot be used because of excessive heat or shear. NOVATION PRIMA® 300 functional native starch is compatible in the same food processes where modified starches are currently used. No special preparation or equipment is needed to use this starch. When NOVATION PRIMA® 300 functional native starch is cooked, it imparts a smooth, short texture that does not set to a gel. The textural properties closely resemble modified starches; only minor adjustments in formulation should be necessary to replace modified starches in most food systems. NOVATION PRIMA® 300 functional native starch has a bland flavor profile and a unique flavor release in many food systems. The flavors of the food systems formulated with NOVATION PRIMA® 300 functional native starch are brighter and have greater intensity when compared to the same systems formulated with many modified starches.
