The inherent stability of waxy rice offers ambient temperature and freeze/thaw stability similar to traditional modified starches. When NOVATION® 8300 functional native starch is cooked, it imparts a smooth, short texture and does not set to a gel. The textural properties closely resemble those achieved with traditional modified starch products; therefore, only minor adjustments in formulation may be necessary to replace modified starches in most food systems. NOVATION® 8300 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® 8300 functional native starch is compatible in the same food processes where modified starches are currently used. No special preparation or handling is needed to use this starch.
