Cold Water Swelling Starch

The Ultra series of high-performance cold-water-swelling starches combines the ease of use of an instant starch with the texture and performance associated with premium cook-up starches, according to the manufacturer. This combination of properties is said to help food technologists create new and reformulated instant and cold-processed foods that withstand a range of processing conditions. In addition, these features offer food processors the opportunity to reduce energy requirements.
