Homecraft Create multifunctional tapioca and rice flours

Ingredion has introduced a clean label range of Homecraft Create Tapioca and Rice Flours to Australia. The multifunctional flours go through a proprietary heat and moisture process to provide similar stability and shelf life to chemical modified starches.

Consumers are checking labels more than ever before and want to see ingredients that are expected and accepted. Ingredion research shows that Australian consumers find flour on a label more acceptable than starch.*

According to Ingredion, the range is designed to provide consumers with a good eating experience as the products provide a clean flavour release and creamy mouthfeel.

Manufacturers can reduce salt and sugar levels with the clean flavours of the multifunctional flours. The creamy and velvety textures also allow for reduced fat content without compromising product quality and these textures are maintained throughout shelf life.

Yoghurt and dairy desserts can now be clean label with smooth and indulgent textures with no gelling or syneresis. Soup and sauces can have improved freeze-thaw performance and baby foods can have enhanced texture and stability over shelf life.
