C*PulpTex texturizing starch is a pregelatinized, crosslinked maize starch designed to generate a pulpy texture and mouthfeel. It is said to be able to duplicate the texture of expensive tomato and potato based ingredients.
In booth #5340 at the IFT Expo, the supplier emphasized convenience food applications for PulpTex and demonstrated it in an "instant" salsa. With the addition of 8 oz of boiling water, the mix is transformed from a dry powder to a thick, pulpy salsa.
