NOVATION® 2700 Functional Native Corn Starch by Ingredion

NOVATION® 2700 functional native starch is an easily cooked starch that produces suspensions which are high in viscosity. It performs in food processes where traditional native starches cannot be used because of excessive heat and shear yielding low viscosity and an undesirable texture. NOVATION® 2700 functional native starch is compatible in the same food processes where modified starches are currently used. No special preparation or equipment is needed to use this starch. When NOVATION® 2700 functional native starch is cooked, it imparts a smooth, short, heavy-bodied texture and does not set to a gel upon cooling. The textural properties closely resemble modified starches; therefore, only minor adjustments in formulation should be necessary to replace modified starches in most food systems. In addition, the high viscosity levels may require a reduced usage level when compared to most native starches or flours.
