Tate & Lyle launches CLARIA Functional Clean-Label Starches for manufacturers to enjoy similar functionality to modified food starch plus the added benefits of a clean taste and label.
The product range enables manufacturers to meet increasing consumer demand for simpler ingredient lists.
This trend is supported by the fact that nearly 25% of new product launches globally were positioned as label-friendly in 2013, according to Innova Market Insights.
Internal colorimetric and sensory testing demonstrated that the CLARIA line has a neutral flavor profile and color that is comparable to modified starches.
This facilitates their incorporation in food categories that have historically had limited options with functional clean-label starches.
These starches enable manufacturers to formulate with similar functionality of a modified food starch.
The patent-pending technology of the product line enables tolerance to shear, heat and acid, even under extreme conditions such as ultra-high-temperatures and homogenization.
It also demonstrates high thickening efficiency and texture consistency over time.
The product line is designed for applications such as soups, sauces, dressings, prepared meals and yogurt.
