AKFP NOTES USAGE GROWTH OF PEA, ARROWROOT STARCHES

摘要

American Key Food Products (AKFP) reported an upswing in the use of native pea starch and arrowroot starch. These ingredients are part of AKFP's non-GMO, non-allergenic/gluten-free and clean label line-up. More customers are getting acquainted with these starches and find their distinctive properties suit well their applications. Pea starch is finding itself in more extruded products; arrowroot starch, in bakery products. AKFP's native pea starch, with its high amylose content, allows for excellent gelling and film forming characteristics. Pea starch also contributes crispiness and added volume when used in snack applications. It is also a viable alternative to native potato starch in extruded meat, seafood and snack products. It shows good heat, shear and pH stability proving itself to be an excellent clean-label alternative.
