NOVATION® 3601 Functional Native Tapioca Starch by Ingredion Germany GmbH

NOVATION® 3601 functional native starch has good process tolerance. It performs in food processes where traditional native starches cannot be used as a viscosifier or stabilizer. As a tapioca based product, NOVATION® 3601 functional native starch features a lower hot viscosity which can be an advantage when using processing equipment such as plate heat exchangers. NOVATION® 3601 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® 3601 functional native starch is cooked, it imparts a smooth short texture that sets to a tender gel upon cooling. Because the textural properties closely resemble some modified tapioca starches, only minor adjustments in formulation are necessary to replace modified tapioca starches in food systems. NOVATION® 3601 functional native starch features the inherent bland flavor of tapioca starches plus the unique flavor release characteristic of NOVATION® functional native starches.
