Cargill introduces improved starch solution HiForm™ 12754 starch, offering unique delivery method
MINNEAPOLIS — December 3, 2008 — Cargill has expanded its portfolio of starches with the introduction of HiForm™ 12754, a quick dispersing cold water swelling starch, that will be launched in the Americas. Manufactured to provide performance that is not only superior to finely granulated cold water swelling starches, but also comparable to agglomerated cold water swelling starches, HiForm™ 12754 starch delivers both value and ingredient functionality to customers. With its exceptional creaminess and smooth texture, HiForm™ 12754 starch is a versatile option for many retail and food service applications, including dry mix soups, sauces, gravies, cold processed salad dressings, fruit pie fillings and puddings.
HiForm™ 12754 starch addresses dispersion issues and provides less dusting than other starches in its category. It also offers benefits including a slight, coarse granulation; a smooth, short texture; and a bland flavor profile that won’t mask flavors in food systems. HiForm™ 12754 starch is heat, shear, acid and freeze thaw stable, which translates to a stable viscosity in abusive or acidic storage conditions and a smooth texture even after freezer or refrigerator storage.
“HiForm™ 12754 starch is a great complement to Cargill’s existing starch portfolio, as it extends our cold water swelling starch product range and offers customers an improved toolbox of starch solutions,” says Dorothy Peterson, starch applications technical lead for Cargill Texturizing Solutions, North America. “New cold water swelling starches such as this one open up new choices for texture, dispersion, viscosity development, hydration rate and process resistance, making HiForm™ 12754 starch a valuable offering for our customers.”
