Pea Starch

Benefits as a food ingredient: It enhances viscosity, stability, and a bouncy, translucent texture in many product types, such as processed meats, desserts, and sauces. It’s also a suitable alternative for “Clean Label” products due to its natural composition.

Benefits of Soy Starch Extract in the Food Industry:

• Thickening and Stabilizing: Used as a thickener and stabilizer in processed meat products such as ham, sausages, ready-made soups, dressings, and sauces, giving them a thicker, more appealing texture.
• Provides a Clear, Bouncy Texture: When used in Thai desserts such as Khanom Chan, Khanom Takoh, and Lod Chong, it helps create a clear, bouncy, and stable texture.
• Substitute for Other Substances: Can be used as an ingredient in desserts such as jellies or mousses to achieve a gel-like texture, replacing animal gelatin.
• Increases Moisture and Texture: In processed meat products, soy starch extract increases volume, resulting in a softer, bouncier, and more moist texture.
• Ingredients in Bakery Products: Helps maintain a crispy texture in baked goods.
• Part of the Clean Label Approach: As a natural ingredient, soy starch extract is suitable for foods requiring a “Clean Label” approach, meaning foods made from natural ingredients free from chemicals.
