Novation Indulge 3620, 3820 starches

Novation Indulge 3620 and 3820 starches by Ingredion are formulated to offer a clean label alternative to artificial ingredients, while providing sensory attributes like smoothness, creaminess and a rich mouthfeel.

These tapioca starches are suitable for a variety of instant beverages and semi-solid applications such as 3-in-1 coffee, ready-to-drink canned coffee, canned milk, flavoured milk drinks, soups and sauces.

Both products disperse easily in water with minimum agitation and can be used in either batch or continuous systems under a range of processing conditions. With a bland taste profile, these starches are compatible with other ingredients, making them a suitable choice for flavour-sensitive food systems.

Requiring minimum processing, the addition of hot water at ≤85°C is sufficient to activate the functionalities of these innovative ingredients. The starches also allow food and beverage manufacturers to replace dairy ingredients with other alternatives; develop healthier products, as they can build back texture in reduced sugar recipes; improve nutritional profile, without compromising taste.
