Chemically modified starches engineered for thickening, stability, freeze-thaw performance and texture across a wide range of applications.

Traditional Modified Starch

TexTec K500

TexTec K500 is a waxy modified starch that enhances texture, structure, and performance across a variety of food applications. It shows strong heat and acid stability, making it reliable during processing. In dense food systems it improves elasticity, firmness, and rehydration efficiency.

In lighter systems such as snacks, squeezable products, and gels, it provides smoothness and squeezability. With its clean taste and quick melt, TexTec K500 is also a natural fit for dairy applications.

Enhances texture, structure and performance

Strong heat and acid stability

Improves elasticity, firmness and rehydration in dense systems

Smoothness and squeezability in snacks, squeezables and gels

Clean taste and quick melt — suited to dairy

Applications: Dairy, snacks, squeezable products, gels

Specialty Modified Starch for Fried Foods

TexTec A501

TexTec A501 is a specialty starch that enhances crispness, adhesion, and texture performance in fried food applications. It shows strong film-forming properties and acts as a protective barrier, making it reliable during frying. In coating, it improves uniform adhesion, viscosity, and internal bonding strength, resulting in fried products with better crunch and texture.

With its functional versatility, TexTec A501 is also suited to extruded snacks, where it contributes to lightness and crisp texture. Vegan and gluten free.

Vegan and gluten free

Applications: Batter systems, breadings, coatings, formed potato products, extruded products and snacks

Traditional Modified Starch

TexTec K400

TexTec K400 is a chemically modified starch for manufacturers looking for enhanced mouthfeel, superior thickening, and freeze-thaw capability. It acts as a stabiliser, thickener, and bulking agent with good resistance to heat and acid, providing better clarity, desired viscosity, and reduced syneresis.

Vegan and gluten free.

Applications: Sauces, ketchups, soups, gravy systems, fruit fillings, frozen pies, patties, cheese

Specialty Modified Starch for Frozen Desserts

TexTec K300

TexTec K300 is a specialty modified starch designed for frozen desserts and liquid-based systems that need a smooth, creamy and rich mouthfeel. It builds viscosity, mimics fat and inhibits ice-crystal growth, enabling low-fat products with full-fat texture and creaminess.

Vegan and gluten free.

Smooth, creamy and rich mouthfeel

Builds viscosity and mimics fat

Inhibits ice-crystal growth for low-fat, full-fat-like texture

Vegan and gluten free

Applications: Ice creams, frozen desserts, thick shakes, non-dairy beverages, Indian sweets, frozen dessert premixes

Chemically Modified Starch

TexTec K200

TexTec K200 is chemically modified for manufacturers looking for excellent freeze-thaw, heat and shear stability with superior thickening. It hydrates quickly and produces a high gloss and sheen that promotes a good appearance in the finished product.

Suited to bakery fillings, mayonnaise and similar products. Vegan and gluten free.
