Pre-gelatinized Starch

Pregelatinized Maize Starch – Pharma Grade

Description

Pre-gelatinization gives native and stabilized starches the ability to form a cold water paste. They develop viscosity without the need for heat which means that the food manufacturer does not need to pre-cook the starch. Pre-gelatinized starches retain most of the functional properties and viscosity of the original base material.

Packing

25 kgs net packed in printed double HDPE woven bags with Liner.
