NOVATION PRIMA® 600 functional native starch has moderate process tolerance. It performs in food processes where traditional native starches cannot be used because of excessive heat and sheer. NOVATION PRIMA® 600 functional native starch functions 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® 600 functional native starch is cooked, it imparts a smooth, short, heavy bodied texture that does not set to a gel. The textural properties closely resemble those of modified starches. Therefore, only minor adjustments in formulation should be necessary to replace modified starches in most food systems. NOVATION PRIMA® 600 functional native starch has a very bland flavor profile and unique flavor release in many food systems. The flavors of food systems formulated with NOVATION PRIMA® 600 functional native starch are brighter and have greater intensity when compared to the same systems formulated with traditional modified starches.
